Introduction

Statistics is the science of collecting, organising, analysing and interpreting data in order to make decisions. In everyday life, we come across a wide range of quantitative and qualitative information. These have profound impact on our lives.

Data means the facts, mostly numerical, that are gathered; statistics implies collection of data. We analyse the data to make decisions. The methods of statistics are tools to help us in this.
