    WHY DO WE NEED STATISTICS IN RESEARCH?

    WHY DO WE NEED STATISTICS IN RESEARCH?


    Statistics is the science that deals with the
    collection, tabulation or presentation, analysis,
    and interpretation of numerical or quantitative
    data.
    Research is a purposive, systematic and
    scientific process of gathering, analyzing,
    classifying, organizing, presenting and
    interpreting data for the solution of a problem,
    for prediction, for invention, for the discovery
    of the truth, all for the preservation and
    improvement of the quality of life
    Inferential Statistics is the tool I to use to reject
    the null hypothesis in order to accept (confirm)
    the alternative hypothesis.
