Author : Dr. S Srinivasa Padmakar and T Pavani Durga
Abstract :
Statistics is a branch of Mathematical science which deals with data collection, its systematic organising and analysis with the random sample of the total population. Statistics tools is very much applicable in the research process to find accurate solution to a long pending problem.
The data related to the problem shall be gathered either from primary or secondary sources and it will be arranged in the prescribed tabular form and it should be analysed with the support of statistical tools and techniques. The results arrived shall be discussed with empirical figures and observations and findings. Statistics in research will support for the data analysis. It helps to researchers to arrive for the accurate results.
Therefore, every researcher must have the knowledge of statistics and on the application of statistical tools to the data organised. The results arrived on the data analysis is the base for the interpretation and discussion which is main part of the thesis or dissertation.
In this paper the concepts of statistics, methods of various statistics, its significance in the research data analysis, usage of various statistics tools and techniques, procedure of data collection sources, selection of sample size, its’ systematic organisation of data analysis, arriving results, discussion of the results has been explained.
The research format, procedure of research, Review of literature, types of research, framing of objectives, and formulating of Hypothesis, testing of Hypothesis, limitations of research also will briefly be discussed in this paper.
Required information pertaining to this paper has gathered from various research papers, articles, journals, statistical reference books, with regard to procedures, types of various statistical tools and techniques applied, various types diagrams, graphical images, histograms, pictograms also has been discussed for the understanding of the researchers.
Keywords :
