Hmm. Often, really just basic statistical numeracy so they could understand data they seeing in papers, etc. Sometimes, more the ability to reason about what is and isn't good data for quantitative decision-making — folks really love to make up meaningless numbers to let them avoid qualitative decisions when quant data isn't there. Sometimes data analysis to understand things like perf impact from log data for edge cases. So in some ways, not really statistics itself, but all things that I find that folks who made it through at least one real stats course are likely to be better at, if that makes sense?
