Abstract

The need to gather information arises in almost every conceivable sphere of human activity. Many of the questions that are subject to common conversation and controversy require numerical data for their resolution. Data resulting from the physical, chemical, and biological experiments in the form of observations are used to test different theories and hypotheses. Various social and economic investigations are carried out through the use and analysis of relevant data. The data collected and analyzed in an objective manner and presented suitably serve as basis for taking policy decisions in different fields of daily life.
