Course Description

Statistics is the art of using data to make numerical conjectures about problems. This
course aims at enhancing student’s competency in solving quantitative problems in
Business, Economics, Social Sciences and Computer Science. This course introduces
statistical principles and methods of data collection, presentation and summarization. The
course involves fundamental concept of descriptive and inferential statistics, types of data,
sources of data, presentation of data through various tables and charts and summarization
of data using various descriptive measures. The course then moves on to the discussion of
principles of probability theory and random variables. Different probability rules are
discussed e.g. addition rule, multiplication rules, conditional and marginal probabilities,
and Bayes Theorem. After discussing some general ideas of random variables, the course
focusses on a detailed discussion of some standard probability distributions including
Binomial, Poisson and Normal Distributions. Finally, some methods of construction and
interpretation of index numbers and time series are discussed.

Course Objective

- To enable the students to apply various descriptive statistical techniques.


- To enable the students to present and summarize data through various tables and graphs.
- To familiarize the students with concepts of probability and probability distributions and
their
applications.
- To increase the student’s understanding of research produced by others and media reports
on
statistics.
- To prepare the students for advanced level undergraduate and graduate courses.
