Statistics for Economics, Accounting and Business Studies
- Share to:
Statistics is a subject which can be (and is) applied to every aspect of our lives. A glance at the annual Guide to Official Statistics published by the UK Office for National Statistics, for example, gives some idea of the range of material available. Under the letter ‘S’, for example, one finds entries for such disparate subjects as salaries, schools, semolina(!), shipbuilding, short-time working, spoons, and social surveys. It seems clear that whatever subject you wish to investigate, there are data available to illuminate your study. However, it is a sad fact that many people do not understand the use of statistics, do not know how to draw proper inferences (conclusions) from them, or misrepresent them. Even (especially?) politicians are not immune from this – for example, it sometimes appears they will not be happy until all school pupils and students are above average in ability and achievement.
