Course Objectives: The student will

 Gain an understanding of testing of hypothesis for determining the risk and assessing the various problems encountered in decision making.
 Apply the concepts of testing of hypothesis and applied statistics serve as a link between the hypothesis and methodologies for assessing and
quantifying chances.
 Grasp the significance of different applied statistics and hypothesis testing techniques used for the analysis of programme research and
implementation, industrial, field based and real-life problems.

Course Prerequisites: To study this course, a student must have opted/ passed the paper Theory of Estimation and Sampling Survey.

Pedagogy for Course Delivery: The course pedagogy will include four-quadrant approach i.e., e-content, audio-visual aids, lectures, open-
source reference material, discussion, explanation of statistical concepts and applications of the topics covered. Lab sessions will be conducted
separately, and students will be encouraged to solve the numerical of industry, real-life based problems and get their feasible solution that could
deliver meaningful and acceptable solutions by the end users. Assessment will be done through assignments, quiz, viva-voce and lab
performance on topics covered after completion of modules.

PSDA:
 Group discussion on industrial/real-life based problems on Time-series.
 Literature review of any one research-based topic on Vital Statistics.
 Group presentation on index numbers.
