    <abstract language="eng">This article studies the role of Statistical Thinking in Problem Solving., where the problem is considered with its wide meaning (not mathematical problems only). Particular emphasis is given to Bayesian Reasoning, whose importance in everyday life and science applications has been only recently fully recognized. Critical and Computational Thinking, the other two main modes of thinking used in Problem Solving, are also discussed and examples are presented illustrating our conclusions.</abstract>
