Introduction

Statistics is a science concerned with information and data—aiming to collect, classify, organize, analyze, and extract results, and even generalize these results—and use them in decision-making. The astonishing progress in information technology and the use of computers has helped students, researchers, and decision-makers reach high levels of analysis, describe reality, and predict the future.

In our contemporary time, amid massive technological advances in all aspects of daily life, economic, social, administrative research, and others, no longer suffice with merely presenting problems, studying phenomena, identifying causes, drawing conclusions, and making decisions superficially without persuasive assessment and measurement.

The general trend in such research and studies is to use quantitative measurement methods and statistical persuasion means to determine characteristics and highlight general trends in social and administrative phenomena, and analyze intertwined and reciprocal relationships between phenomena based on a distinctive subject.

Statistics provides researchers in economic, social, and administrative sciences with many essential methods and techniques for conducting studies and research in these fields on a measurement basis for the movement of many variables defining the phenomena under study.

The term statistics also refers to the process of collecting quantitative data and the methods used in processing this data, including drawing conclusions from small sample studies to form generalizations that can be applied to larger populations.
