I mean person who administrates something is called administrator. Person who manages something is called manager. How to call a person who works with statistics?

I don't think your line of reasoning is quite right. A manager doesn't "work with managing", but you would have gotten it if you said that "a mathematician works with math" – simchona♦ Mar 16 at 3:16

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

One calls him or her a "statistician."

Could TIKSN not find this in a dictionary? Or is EL&U now so well-established that one comes here before a dictionary? If so, it seems to have worked. – GEdgar Mar 16 at 3:02

@GEdgar I would really like to know how to look up a word of which I only know the meaning. You know, as a English learner, I often don't know how to express myself because I can't find a suitable phrase. – zwangxian Mar 16 at 4:25
   
In this case, look in the dictionary near the entry "statistics" to find related words. – GEdgar Mar 16 at 13:38
