Statistics IModule Details

Rationale

Statistics I will introduce students to the concept of measures of central tendency and variation and of the elementary probability theory and will cover in detail all aspects of the binomial and the normal random variables and distributions, as well as estimation and hypothesis testing.
  
Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course students will be expected to:

(i)    Explain the meaning of statistical measures and compute measures of central tendency and variation from grouped and ungrouped data.
(ii)   Solve basic theoretical and empirical probability problems and also to be able to understand the difference between those two probabilities.
(iii)  Compute probabilities for the Binomial distribution and for the normal distribution.
(iv)  Compute confidence Intervals.
(v)   Execute hypothesis testing on the value of the population mean.
