In this study, the researcher wants to find the mathematical aptitude of future teachers. The sample taken for the study is the teacher trainees of different colleges under the Indian Institute of Teacher Education, and the technique used is a random sampling technique. An investigation that covers the entire population is challenging to carry out. The population's representative subjects must, therefore, be chosen.
