of the researchers find it as a challenging and gruelling passage in the
research process. Proficiency in the use of statistical tools is a very
essential skill required for every researcher. Statistical
tools are extensively used in economics, finance, commerce, agriculture, health sciences, politics, biological sciences, international
relations etc. A thorough knowledge of
the principles statistical inference is indispensible for the successful
application of statistical tools in both teaching and research. Moreover, the
availability of many user friendly statistical softwares simplifies the
application of statistical tools in teaching and research.
