It serves four purposes (1) identifies and describes the principal features of statistical tables and charts; (2) presents a few illustrations of how indicators and other statistical measures are constructed; (3) alerts the reader to both the strengths and weaknesses of statistical data by describing and illustrating the nature and effects of sampling and non-sampling variability; and (4) offers a few precepts and suggestions with respect to the interpretation of statistical data.
