No. Physicists just take a lot more math classes (including statistics and data analysis) during their undergrad/graduate studies than biologists or psychologists do.



Physics PhDs will have taken more math courses than Psychology PhDs on average, but I am pretty skeptical that they have taken more statistics courses. I would like to see the evidence for that if you have it.
