In the research process, statistics is an indispensable tool. And scientist can evaluate their research ideas and hypothesis using the statistical tools and techniques.
The "wheel of science" shows how statistics helps the researcher in research process. According to the "wheel of science", there is a circular flow in different scientific phenomenon. It consists of four components, such as, Theory, Hypothesis, Observations, and Empirical generalizations.
Theory gives an explanation about the relationship between the phenomena whereas the hypothesis give a logical statement, that is derived from the theory, about the relationship of the variables. Based on the available observations or data, the hypotheses are tested using the statistical tools and significance of the statement is verified. Finally, the wheel leads to 'Empirical generalizations' which is drawing inferences from the result of observations.
Based on the "wheel of science", it can be said that in any research process, the Statistics give scientists the power to form quantitative analysis out of theories and to use statistical tools and techniques to scientifically manipulate and organize the data to draw meaningful conclusions that are relevant to the current as well as future studies.
