However, we do not stop at the conclusion of the computation. We must proceed to review the entire sampling process. We must also evaluate the validity of the assumed statistical model. Make a data transformation, if necessary, to arrive at a better model. Only after a good statistical model is sought and found, would an interpretation of the final results be useful and meaningful.
Statistics is a powerful scientific tool.
With proper use, it can greatly assist researchers in analyzing complicated data sets and drawing meaningful conclusions.
