I don't know where you are from, but in germany basic statistic knowledge (like what you described: mean, median, standard deviation, confidence intervalls) is taught in high school. It's pretty common knowledge.

Where are you from?

I thought this might be a good read for programmers who don't know statistics. Actually, I was also wondering as I was also taught basic statistics in high school (India) except confidence intervals.
