What topics in statistics are most useful for trading?

I am currently studying statistics in uni and intuitively I focus on probability, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis which I believe could be useful for trading. Am I wrong? Is there more tropics should I focus on as well in the curriculum? I am looking for an answer from a seasoned trader or pm, thanks!
