(ONU), la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OC-DE) o la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO), destacan la necesidad de promover la implementación de políticas de desarrollo económico y cultural, que incluyan no sólo la alfa-betización lingüística básica, sino también la numérica, [4], proporcionando a los ciudadanos herramientas de información y toma de decisiones para crear una sociedad más democrática. Como indica Ottaviani [49], la difusión de la estadística, no solo como un conjunto de herramientas para tratar los datos cuantitativos, sino como una cultura, se ha convertido en una necesidad para promover la capacidad de comprender la abstracción lógica que hace posible el estudio de los fenómenos colectivos. Esta idea no es nueva, por ejemplo, el escri-tor H. G. Wells ya resaltaba la importancia de la estadística a finales del siglo XIX cuando expuso que el pensamiento estadístico un día sería tan necesario para la ciudadanía eficiente como la capacidad de leer y escribir.
