Excerpt from Progress and Uniformity in Child-Labor Legislation: A Study in Statistical MeasurementThe writer feels that statistics are often misinterpreted because their presentation is such, that, in the reader's mind, they are divorced from the nature of the data which they represent. One purpose of statistics is to present information. This they fail to do adequately unless the nature of the data is presented in connection with the figures. Thus, the meaning of an average is limited and indefinite unless there is a knowledge of the data from which it has been derived. This monograph attempts to weave the figures into the discussion of the data in such a way that, in ascertaining the figures, it will be necessary to understand the subject matter. This seems particularly necessary in this study. For these reasons no abbreviated conclusion has been presented.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
