Roles of Statistics in Research
1. Statistical Methods help the research in making his research design,
particularly in experimental research. Statistical method always
involved in planning a research projects because in some way
statistics direct the researcher how to gather his data.
2. Statistical techniques help the research in determining the validity
and reliability of his research instruments.
3. Statistical manipulation organize raw data systematically to make
the latter appropriate for study.
4. Statistics are used to test hypotheses.
5. Statistical treatment give meaning and interpretation to data.
6. Statistical procedures are indispensable in determining the levels of
significance of vital statistical measures.
