Abstract: Abstract One principal aim of any statistical enquiry is to be able to understand and describe the population of interest. For example, a farm survey is aimed at estimating current crop output and evaluating the impact of various government policies; a consumer survey will be interested in assessing how much of its product is being consumed and what is the chance of increasing production if some action is taken. Thus, the first task of a statistical staff is that of organizing the data in the form that salient characteristics can be easily seen.
