STATISTICS
Statistics is the science of averages and is the foundation of sound decision making.
Statistics has been defined differently by different authors from time to time. Some writers define it as
‘Statistical data’ i.e., numerical statement of facts, while other define it as “Statistical methods” i.e.,
complete body of the principles and techniques used in collecting and analyzing such data.
The purpose of statistics with the help of mathematics is to manipulate, summarize and investigate data so
that the useful decision-making results can be obtained.
Some of the important definitions of Statistics:
• Statistics may be defined as the collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical
data.
• Statistics is the science of estimation and probabilities.
• Statistics is the science which deals with collection, classification and tabulation of numerical facts
as the basis for explanation, description and comparison of phenomenon.
• Statistics as “Classification facts representing the conditions of the people in a state, especially
those facts which can be stated in numbers or in any other tabular or classified arrangement.
• Statistics as “Numerical statements of fact in any department of enquiry placed in relation to each
other”.
• Bowley defines statistics in the following three different ways:
• Statistics may be called the science of counting.
• Statistics may rightly be called the science of averages.
• Statistics is the science of the measurement of social organism, regarded as a whole in all its
manifestations and developments.
