Basic Statistics: B.A. Programme (Geography) Semester - IV Practical - II (GGB-08)

1) The document outlines the course for Practical - II (GGB-08) Basic Statistics. It covers three units: statistics concepts and measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, and correlation and regression analysis. 2) Measures of central tendency discussed are the mean, median, and mode. Methods to calculate the arithmetic mean for individual, discrete, and grouped data using direct and shortcut methods are presented. 3) Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the median for individual, discrete, and continuous series. The mode is defined as the class with the highest frequency.
