    To decide between the two, you'll need to understand the basic difference between them. Statistics majorly focuses on data collection, analysis, interpretation, and statistical modeling. On the other hand, Operational Research includes mathematical and analytical methods to solve problems related to logistics, supply chain management, and resource allocation.

    If you are confused between both, first note down your interests, career goals, skills, industry demand, etc., and then analyze, which option suits you the best.
