Some of  the reasons for the above remark  "there are three lies-lie, damn lie and statistics",may be enumerated as follows :

  1. Figures are innocent and believable, and the facts based on them are psychologically more convincing. But it is a pity that figures do not have the label of quality on their face. 
  2. Arguments are put forward to establish certain results which are not true by making use of  inaccurate figures or by using incomplete data, thus distorting the truth. 
  3. Though accurate, the figures might be moulded  and manipulated by dishonest and unscrupulous persons to conceal the truth and present a working and distorted picture of the facts to the public for personal and selfish motives.

Hence, if Statistics and its tools are misused, the fault does not lie with the science of Statistics. Rather, it is the people who misuse it, are to be blamed.

Statistics may be considered a lie due to following reasons: (i) Different kinds of Statistics are obtained in respect to a given problem. (ii) Statistics can be altered to match the predetermined conclusions. (iii) Authentic Statistics can also be presented in such a manner as to confuse the reader. (iv) When Statistics are collected in partial manner, the results are generally wrong. Consequently, people lose faith in them. In the words of Yule and Kendall, “Statistical methods sare most dangerous told in the hands of an inexpert.”

Scarcity means shortage of resources in relation to their demand, which implies that resources are limited which have alternate uses. In this situation, every economy whether developed or developing has to face problem of choice i.e, how to utilise or select the resources in such a manner to satisfy maximum human unlimited wants. Which is known as economic problem.

The consumer will be in equilibrium in case of single commodity when following condition is satisfied:

  1. {tex}\frac { \mathrm { MUx } } { \mathrm { Px } }{/tex} = MUm
    Where, MUx= Marginal utility of good X
    Px = Price of good X
    MUm= Marginal utility of money
  2. Law of Diminishing Marginal utility (means consumption increases the marginal utility derived from each additional unit declines) must prevail.
