Knowing the source of the information in a statistical table can help you decide if the information is reliable. It does not necessarily help in identifying other references of the same data, determining if the data collection agent had a background in sociology, determining if the data has been previously used elsewhere, or determining other ways to collect the same data. Knowing the source of the information can help one to decide if it is reliable or not. None of the other options directly relate to determining the reliability of the data.
