Roles of ststistics in social work

        Imagine you are a member of the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR), a professional organization for researchers in social work. In your own words, prepare a hypothetical blog post for the organization’s home page for other social work researchers to read and respond to. For your blog, analyze the questions below. What role do statistics play in social work research? Do you believe they are simply superfluous (an unnecessary burden) or are they useful? On what do you base your opinion? Some argue that outliers should be eliminated from results. Do you agree or disagree with this approach as it relates to advancing the science of social work? Why or why not? How do oppressed, marginalized, and vulnerable populations correspond to the notion of outliers?
