Statistical Investigation

For any Statistical Study, whether it is in business, economics or social sciences, the basic problem is to collect facts and figures relating to particular phenomenon under study. The person who conducts the statistical enquiry i.e., counts or measures the characteristics under study for further statistical analysis is known as Investigator.

Distrust of Statistics

1. An ounce of truth produce tons of Statistics

2. Statistics can prove anything

3. Figures do not lie, liars figure

4. Statistics is an unreliable science

5. There are three types of lies – lies; damned lies; statistics.

Sources of data1. Primary Data

2. Secondary Data

Irrespective of the above the data can be classified as:

6. Qualitative Data

7. Quantitative Data

1. Measurements or scores

2. Frequencies

Formulation of a Grouped FD

Deciding the appropriate number of Class Grouping

n=1 + 3.322 log10 N

Choosing a suitable size or width of a Class Interval

Width = Highest Value – Lowest Value

Number of Class Groupings

5. Establishing the boundaries of each Class Interval

6. Classifying the data into appropriate classes

7. Counting the number of items in each class
