- 4. Scope of Statistics Statistics increases the field of mental vision just as a binocular increases the field of physical vision Simplifies unwieldy and complex mass of data, and present them in a form and manner that they become intelligible. Conversion of data into information, makes it better suited for decision making
- 5. Scope of Statistics Quantifies and measures uncertainty and variability, and thereby helps in decision making Discovers past and emerging patterns in a data. Using such analysis, it helps in forecasting. Sometimes, Statistics can even suggest possible reasons for such pattern. Helps in estimation and validating assumptions.
- 6. Ways of manipulating the data Changing definition of a variable to suit preconceived notion Inadequate sample or unrepresentative sample selection Manipulative collection of data Interpretation of association and correlation Inappropriate comparison Defective data – definition confusing or not considering all possibilities
