It has been discovered that one class is progressing quicker in one subject while another is progressing in another. Even different portions of the same class do not progress in the same manner. 2. Individual Comparison: Statistics aids in the individual comparison of students of varying ages, talents, and IQ levels. Statistics explain why students who are similar in every other way do not attain the same level of success in one topic. 3. Educational and Vocational Guidance: Every student differs from others in terms of intellectual capacity, interests, attitude, and mental abilities. Students are offered educational and vocational counseling in order to make the most use of their qualities, and the process of guidance is based only on statistics. 4. Educational Experiments and Research: The goals, curricula, and methods of teaching change as the location, line, and conditions change. Without the use of statistics, research and experimentation cannot become accurate and valid. 5. Essential for Professional Efficiency: The responsibility of the teacher does not cease when he teaches a certain subject in the classroom.

Characteristics of Statistics The important characteristics of Statistics are as follows: • Statistics are numerically expressed. • It has an aggregate of facts • Data are collected in systematic order • It should be comparable to each other • Data are collected for a planned purpose Purposes: One can identify four purposes for which educational statistics are important: (a) for making sound policies and effective plans, (b) for efficient administration and management, (c) for research, (d) for information, and dissemination of information. For the purposes of proper policymaking, planning, and management and for research, very reliable and elaborate statistical base is critical. The various purposes for which education statistics are required by the planners, policymakers and researchers can be grouped into two broad categories, as shown in Figure 1.
