What are people's problem in this regard ?

People face certain problems while doing statistics. Literally statistics is just an estimation at different proportions for different criterias. Now who to explain social problems like dowry, sati and all which are abolished long ago, can't be highlighted even if it is still practiced. Because statistics can't read minds, right ? If we look back at past, people mostly hide their bad deeds and we don't have any proof regarding this. So the major question arises is that, how we can solve these problems ?

The following measures can help to remove distrust in Statistics :-

• Use of better estimation programs. You know as stated above, statistics cannot provide measures to solve everything. Better to use it for only things which can be measured properly and effectively, like gender ratio, income, etc.

• For improving Statistics, we must be impartial in our datas. Sometimes, people use illegal cheatings and practices to get some benefit. So this must be avoided.

• Also, in order to get best results we must use other methods also for getting estimation. This is because, since we cannot get accurate information about anything by statistics, we must use other methods also like, survey, etc.

• There also must be change in ideology while using Statistics. As a human nature, we always do a mistake to understand grievances of people. Statistics gives measure not the rate of feeling. If a person is facing any problem with inner conscience, that cannot be measured with Statistics.

• Also, while using the method of Statistics, we must be sure thag it is done at grass root levels. Sometimes the volunteers, take advantage of situation and print data according to their wish. But it mist be avoided to get accurate data in whole.

Let us now look at different measures of estimations :-

• Surveys are the methods which are followed to grass root levels which gives estimation of each and every social quality of any thing.

• Census are the ways which explain the gender, income and all, that is most of the qualitative estimations of society.

• Here we are talking about Statistics in Society, not the mathematics one. Maths Statistics can be corrected uing proper vigilance at calculation of data and their observations.

Social statistics are the one that states the condition at different levels of society.
