While math majors DO tend to be more successful in my graduate statistics courses, I do agree that statistics and calculus often appeal to quite different types of people. Some of the best mathematicians I know are frustrated when I ask them, "So, what do you recommend based on the results you obtained?" They got the right answer and from their point of view, now they are done.
