MASTERS PROGRAM

Course Code: MCC 202

Course Title: Statistics with Laboratory

Credit Units: 3

Course Pre-requisite: none

Course Description: This course introduces you to the basics of statistics – techniques which sociologist and other social scientists use to summarize numerical data
obtained from censuses, surveys and experiments. Topics include basic concepts to statistics , calculations of descriptive statistics and review of commonly occurring
distributions needed for understanding basic ideas of statistical inference. It introduces introduction to hypothesis testing and inferential statistics. The course gives
emphasis on applications through problem solving. The use of SPSS software is used to analyze and interpret data.

Course Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the course, the students are expected to:

• demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts of Statistics;

• develop skills in computation using calculator and SPSS software;
• compute accurately various inferential statistics;
• explain the differences of various statistical techniques and identify an appropriate technique for a given set of variables and research questions;
• manifest understanding and apply the concepts of statistics as applied in the different disciplines.
• demonstrate critical, logical and analytical thinking.
• manifest such values as accuracy, precision, as well as critical, independent, and creative thinking.
• appreciate the wonders that the technology can give and do in the field of mathematics
