One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Introduction to statistics

Introduction to statistics focuses on what statistics is, why data are collected, and the basic ideas used to describe and analyse data for decision-making. For exam purposes, you must clearly distinguish concepts such as population, sample, parameter, statistic, types of data, and the main branches of statistics, because these are the foundation for all later statistical methods.
