The history of statistics may be dated to several thousand of years ago. But day by day the word ‘statistics’ has become more popular and widely used. The word ‘statistics’ has been derived from Latin word ‘status’, German word ‘statistik’ and Italian word ‘statista’. All denote the same meaning that is political state. In ancient times, the government used to collect the information regarding the size of population in the country, property of the country, military force etc. So, in those days, statistics was considered as the science of state craft. But at present, statistics is used by the economist, managers, scientist, politicians, etc. So these days, there is hardly a place where statistics is not used. The word ‘statistics’ can be used both singular as well as plural sense.
