LOCATE FACT
 CLASSIFICATION HELPS IN FINDING OUT
CAUSE-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP IF THERE IS ANY
IN THE DATA FOR SAMPLE.

ACCORDING TO CHARACTERISTICS
LIKE SOCIAL STATUS

 THE BASIS OF CLASSIFICATION IS
ACCORDING TO GEOGRAPHICAL
LOCATION OR PLACE,
 EXAMPLE-CITY OF POPULATION.
 THE PRODUCTION WHEAT (in
quintals) IN DIFFERENT STATES.

WHEN THE BASIS OF CLASSIFICATION IS
ACCORDING TO DIFFERENCES IN
TIMES
