Course Introduction:
Instructions/Guideline for the course
Rationale and Objectives
- Students can find all the course materials from Moodle.
- All the students have to submit the soft copy of their "Assignment" in Moodle under assignment section created here and for this they will be graded here.
- One discussion or feedback forum is created under each of the lecture Students have to give their feedback on these forum and marks will be given for their feedback
- Any announcement regarding the class will be posted on Moodle. So they have to keep themselves always active on Moodle.
- All the quizzes and presentation will be held on using online platform and it will be announced before the assessment.
- The syllabus for the quizzes, midterm and final exam is given here under each of the section (quizzes, midterm and final)
- There are midterm and final exam preparation forum under these sections where students can discuss with each other about their midterm and final exam syllabus, any problem regarding the exam etc.
In real life, statistical methods can apply to solve different problems and help to make an effective decision that affect our daily lives. Statistical methods are used in development of planning, commerce, industry, business, formation of development policy, agricultural sector, social science etc. By studying this course, students will learn the fundamental knowledge about statistics and their applications.
This course intends to provide the students with the basic concepts of Statistics. Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to-- Achieve a sound understanding of the theoretical and practical knowledge of statistics,
- Impart them with fundamental knowledge about descriptive statistics and their applications.
- Apply appropriate statistical tools (Regression, data mining, and probability) for making decision.
- Able to apply their statistical knowledge and skills throughout their future studies.
