1. Concepts
• Biostatistics could be seen and defined as the application of statistics to several topics in public health supply chain management.

Biostatistics could also play a paramount importance in determining all the factors affecting our health which are not valid and which are either supported or not by the data, which could be based on experimental design and observation.
• The concept of descriptive statistics which is also known as deductive statistics in public health supply chain management which merely describe, organize or summarize data and it refers to actual data available in any successful programs.
This is applicable to public health supply chain management which is describe as blood pattern of clients, disease prevalence in a community of an LGA and case report which can help us to forecast for how many people that will need a particular products especially those that are closely related to the above named disease

This concept could be seen on daily basis being applied in the laboratory and pharmacy or other service delivery points where screening tests are conducted.
• The concept of predictive value positive of a screening test or symptom can be seen as the probability that a person has a disease given that the screening test is positive or has the symptom. This is very important in public health HIV counselling and testing (HCT), RDT testing etc.
The concept is applicable in supply chain management when a client that is tested positive for HIV/AIDS went to confirm the test result even when the algorithm (Serial not parallel) are properly followed. Such a client will still be tested positive.
• The concepts of statistical significance in supply chain management and logistics tell us how sure a difference or relationship exists. It also tells us whether the type of data is correct or wrong. This could be achieved and attained when a p-value is less than the significant

When I learned of my acceptance to Rutgers University, I was initially filled with both excitement and anxiety. Though the opportunities were plentiful at this prestigious University, I was worried that the I would let them slip by. The first two years I was here, I did not exactly thrive. I was unsure of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and the route that I was taking (exercise science) did not seem to be the right choice. My sister, who had graduated from Rutgers in 2014, suggested public health, as it was less science-intensive and had similar career opportunities.

A discipline can be described as a set of processes that involves a series of methods, techniques, and theories that are applied to find a solution to a real life situation. These can be found in subjects like mathematics and biomedical informatics. Comparatively, these two are very similar as they define methodologies and theories. However, their applications (i.e. physics and bioinformatics) are very different in defining low and high level processes for what they are studying. The terms biomedical informatics and bioinformatics may look and sound similar, which can cause confusion between the two because they are often improperly used synonymously.
