What is the difference between 'Function' and 'role'?

Something's function is what its used for. Example: Your thumb's function is to allow you to grip things with your hand. Somethings role is its purpose. Example: Your thumb is an evolutionary trait due to the need to survive, it's role is to let humans and primates get one step ahead of the other animals on the Earth due to the need to survive and carry on the species. ------------------------------------------- Think as the "Function" as an action; something that is used, or that you will utilize to 'do' something; eg. complete a manuever or task. And think of "role" as to what is being achieved; the contribution for the desired 'act' or function. function: how something can be used/is used; its value or significance -- as to -- role: what something does/is doing; in contribution thereof/ the obligations, duty, or purpose for the overall achievement Example: A USB connection cable for your Android phone functions as the communication transport link for data transfer between that device and your PC. The required software plays a role by providing the necessary operating system applications for the management of that data.


What does it mean by what is it's function?

It is asking (for example) what is the use (function) of a hammer - it is to hit a nail and drive it into wood. --------------------------------------------------------------- "what is its function" (NOTE there is NO apostrophe EVER used in the word "its") means "what is it meant to do" - "what is it for" - "what role does it play as part of something else".


Importance of statistics indifferent fields of life?

A statistic is the result of applying a proper function (algorithm) to a set of data available to us. Its statistical theory defines statistic as a function of a sample or a selected thing where the function itself is independent of the sample's distribution and separation. Statistics can be used in various fields from simple to complex. We may use it for counting things. We may use it in mathematics. Its main use is in research tasks. It makes our data compilation easier than ever before. It is all about simplification of things in a real world. It is playing a vital role in calculations in science subjects. It is helpful to keep and improve the record of an organization. business management is incomplete without education of statistics. This shows that statistics is playing a role in all of the fields, it has a role in buying fruits from market and it has a role in a big business deal as well. So we cannot deny its important and animated role in any way.
