Abstract
This study considers the statistical analysis of rice husk ash as a construction material in building production process. The quality of concrete mixture is of inevitable concern to all stakeholders in the construction industry in the zone when the climatic conditions of the zone are considered. The mix ratio is examined and all the prevailing construction/production practices are considered statistically. The statistical tools employed are descriptive, normality, process statistical summary and confidence estimation methods of statistics. The tools portrays the necessary information in the data to understand what the data information for further production process analysis.
