Computer as an advantage in statistic? - Answers

Your question is unclear. I will answer the following question, "How is the computer related technology an advantage in calculations of statistics?" This includes the computer, software, monitors and printers, and related data transmission systems (including the internet) and data storage. Computers and software are often essential in calculating statistics, interpreting statistics and in presenting results. The amount of data that can be easily stored and retreived by computers has increased enormously and this is a great advantage in statistical analysis. Data transmission over the internet means data can be collected at one location and almost immediately be retrieved at a second location. Data collection (which is a part of statistics) is much more efficient. Standard computer programs means fewer human errors in calculating statistics. Still, some data must be check by people. Graphical displays of data help in the checking data. Finally, raw data, data analyses, and all presentations of results can be stored in CD's, making a permanent record of the work performed, in case any questions arise in the future.
