Dalam bukunya tersebut ia memperkenalkan istilah baru, yakni \u201cStatistics\u201d, yang ia dengar ketika berkunjung ke Jerman.\u00a0Pada volume XX, halaman xiii, Sir John Sinclair menulis,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201d Many people were at first surprised at my using the words \u201cstatistical\u201d and \u201cstatistics\u201d, as it was supposed that some in our own language might have expressed the same meaning. But in the course of a very extensive tour through the northern parts of Europe, which I happened to take in 1786, I found that in Germany they were engaged in a species of political enquiry to which they had given the name \u201cstatistics,\u201d and though I apply a different meaning to that word\u2014for by \u201cstatistical\u201d is meant in Germany an inquiry for the purposes of ascertaining the political strength of a country or questions respecting matters of state\u2014whereas the idea I annex to the term is an inquiry into the state of a country, for the purpose of ascertaining the quantum of happiness enjoyed by its inhabitants, and the means of its future improvement; but as I thought that a new word might attract more public attention, I resolved on adopting it, and I hope it is now completely naturalised and incorporated with our language.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dari tulisannya tersebut, Sir John Sinclair mengadopsi kata \u201cStatistics\u201d yang dia ketahui ketika melakukan perjalanan ke Jerman. Namun terdapat perbedaan antara keduanya. Di Jerman, istilah itu merujuk kepada suatu metode yang digunakan dalam hal politik dan kenegaraan, seperti misalnya untuk mengukur kekuatan politik dan menganalisis data-data kenegaraan. Sir John Sinclair menggunakan istilah ini (statistics) sebagai suatu metode untuk mengumpulkan data atau fakta di lapangan yang bersifat numerik.\u00a0Pada tahun 1834, Statistical Society of London dibentuk (sekarang Royal Statistical Society). Ketika itu, ia adalah anggota tertua, yakni berusia 80 tahun.<\/p>\n<p>Dari tokoh ini, dapat kita ambil kesimpulan bahwa statistika dapat masuk ke berbagai macam bidang ilmu, sepert Ir John Sinclair yang mengetahui betapa pentingnya statistika untuk menganalisa segala aspek yang ada di kehidupan ini.<\/p>\n<p>Sekian dan Salam Statistika !!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sir John Sinclair lahir pada 10 Mei 1754 di Thurso Castle, Thurso, Caithness.
