About Statistics

Statistics are not just important to you as a student, they are of considerable importance to the whole community. You will need to be able to search for and use raw data throughout your studies and career. When used effectively, statistics have the ability to significantly empower an argument or decision.

Statistics can be used to :

  • Predict an outcome.
  • Test a hypothesis
  • Compare information
  • Provide information in a structured way

 This LibGuide will provide you with information on finding, understanding and using statistics.
