Research is an important prerequisite for a dynamic social order. Society has marched on to its present form with the help of constant research and investigation. Statistics is growing in importance every day and is now being used in almost every field of study and activity. Even most of the subjects under "humanities" are now linked with statistics. As compared to mathematics. Statistics is a new branch of human knowledge However, from the point of view of perfection, the science of statistics is not very far from mathematics. Day to day the application of mathematics and statistics are increasing at a higher level. Social science research is a systematic method of exploring, analysing and conceptualizing human life in order to extend, correct or verify knowledge of human behaviour and social life. The aim of Social science research to understand the human behaviour and its interaction with the environment and the social institutions. The main objective of the study is to analyse the importance of Statistics use in Social science research. Scientific investigation presents itself in a more formidable fashion in the faculty of social sciences where quantitative techniques are a rather recent introduction. With increased emphasis on the use of quantitative methods in social sciences, it is often noted that researchers become victims of frustration and dejection due to their lack of knowledge of elementary mathematics and statistical methods. Simple concepts such as average behaviour, measure of variability, degree of interdependence, extent of explanatory capability of a simple model, etc. present major hurdles to researchers, otherwise quite intelligent but devoid of the knowledge of quantitative techniques. The main objective of this study to analyse the importance of statistics in social science research. The methodology used in this study is secondary data like books, reports, previous research papers and Government surveys. The major finding of the study observed as the statistical tools and techniques are using more the ninety percent of social scientists are using in their research works.
