One learns a great deal about society simply by living in it. However, we often need a picture of our society that is not limited by the horizon of any one individual. To have such a comprehensive view is essential not only for the student of society but also for decision makers in law, government, investment, marketing, transportation, welfare, et cetera. The most common way we have to achieve such an over-all view is through statistics. Statistics condenses into one figure, or into a few lines in a table, information about thousands of individuals. Admittedly, statistical summaries and tables do not make particularly easy reading, and few people ever get excited about them. But they do reveal in a quick and precise way what would take numerous man-hours to discover by merely participating in and observing the life around us.
