Calculus is more powerful than Statistics. Though Statistics has some features that Calculus lacks, such as linear regression, hypothesis testing, and probability, with Calculus you can do the most advanced science, learn higher level math, and solve complicated engineering, economics, etc. problems. With Statistics, most of the applications are limited to politics/sociology and psychology/medicine. Once you have taken Calculus first, Statistics will literally be a piece of cake. (Except getting the df part right in Hypothesis testing...)

It is the branch into the sciences. It comprises portions of statistics. Statistics may be how to translate and find systems of data, but calculus offers a definitive way to calculate the system of numbers you are dealing with. It can relate to almost any type of major science and is used with most major scientific application. Sure, a course regarding statistics can teach you to manipulate numbers and to find meaning among them, but a calculus class offers much more, delving into the methods to compute the most complex of problems and to find a simple solution to those problem rather than fumbling around with numbers and probability.

statistics is based on probability...calculus is more exact

Calculus is more realistic than Statistics. In Statistics, you always account for variable changes so the outcome of your hypothesis might not be what you expect it to be. Besides that, Calculus gets 'straight to the point'.

Calculus is more factual and Statistics is more of dependent on theory.

Statistics skills are more useful, because these skills may be used to interpret data. However, I do believe that Calculus skills may be useful as these skills are used to design.

it's more practical

Since 'meaning' is the end, purpose or significance of something, it is a fundamental quality of a description. As stated previously, "[Statistics] can be used for purposes of summarizing or describing collected data. While calculus can be used to model collected data and further understanding of the data itself. Understanding precedes the assignment of meaning, otherwise the stated meaning would be baseless. The application of calculus for understanding must precede statistical application for meaning. Since meaning is a neccessary feature of statistical application while it is not of calculus, statistical skill is more meaningful.

More practical and useful in everyday life.

I chose statistics because, collecting data is one of our common accomplishment we do in our daily lives & we need statistics to it.
In Calculus, it depends on you if you want to study deep sciences & mathematics, there you need calculus

Because it has more practical use for more people.

OK, maybe not the most meaningful (they're both very meaningful) but calculus is certainly more *useful* in everyday life. We all have to make decisions day in, day out, which are really assessments of probabilities. Humans' judgement of probability is often quite poor.
