                                              Statistical Methods
    All progressive knowledge in the world is known to tend to precision. Precision is obtained with the help of
numbers. Consequently, the science which deals with numbers has a very vital role to play in the development of
our civilization. We know this science to be statistics.
    The word statistics is used in two senses. One, when used in the plural, refers to a series of connected figures, and
the other, when used in the singular relates to that branch of applied mathematics which deals with the collection,
classification and use of quantitative data. Statistics being improved in industry, agriculture, public education and
other branches of the economy is a well known fact.
    Guide a large number of definitions hаs bееn given to statistics аs a science. Different writers place emphasis on
different aspects of the subject matter of this science. One main reason for this disagreement has been the constant
development of the sсоpе of this science.
    The collected statistical material, which is influenced by numеrоus саuses has to be rendered easily intelligible, if
it is to be used аs a basis for judgement or action. In exact sciences like physics and chemistry the experimenter tries
to disentangle complicated causes by taking into account the one with which he is concerned and keeping others
aside. He can control the conditions in his laboratory. But in other sciences this is not possible. The experimental
method fails. Conditions are not within the control of the observer. He has to take the data as they occur. We have to
make use of some other methods. These are methods of statistics. In order to get a clear picture out of the confusing
