My dictionary says it's plural, but singular or plural in construction.
That means that when it is the subject, some people make agreement with a singular verb; others, with a plural verb.

It depends on context. I would say these:

The statistics do not lie. (Not does)
Statistics is a difficult subject. (Not are.)
