We have some basic statistics functionality in sage stats for some descriptive statistics. Unfortunately, it is really basic.

This ticket is for clarifying the relationship of that material to the Sage probability distributions, histogram, Scipy, GSL, and other libraries - perhaps including pandas, though this is not (yet) standard in Sage.

• Ideally there would be interfaces to the best native Python functionality rather than something specific to Sage (though that may not be possible).
• There may be a tutorial page in the (reference manual) documentation for demonstrating best practices.
• There could be a more education-oriented tutorial elsewhere, along the lines of the PREP Quickstart but more comprehensive.
• As noted at Deprecate sage.stats.basic_stats #29662, Python 3 has a stats module, though presumably that module can't handle (say) the mean of several Integers or even stranger objects, as-is.

If all of those generate interest, this ticket would be converted to a metaticket to keep track of them.

Depends on #29662
