COURSE OUTCOMES
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
Ability to acquire strong basic knowledge on the theoretical basis for inferential statistics.
Identify and apply the appropriate statistical tools in the real world problem.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces the students to the basic and intermediate methods of data analysis. Emphasis
will be given to the usage of descriptive and inferential statistics including measures of central
tendency, measures of dispersion, correlation, regression, hypothesis testing and chi-square test of
independence. Student will be exposed to interpret the output from the statistical software.
