The Head symbolizes the sign Sigma which is used to denote standard deviation or variations in human endeavors.
The Right Arm symbolizes the sign Sigma which is used to denote summation of society's dreams and aspirations.
The Left Arm and Torso, taken altogether, symbolizes the sign Chi Square and is used to denote in dependence and objectively of one's views and decisions while maintaining harmony with the government.
The use of the symbols as the body parts of STATMAN signifies coherence and unity between statistical theory and their various applications which include, among others, the generation, analysis and interpretation of data.
