Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to equip students with an understanding of statistical analysis and analytical thinking. Discussions will range from key concepts to useful data analysis. Among topics covered are: Data collection, summarizing and presenting techniques, probability theory, discrete and continuous random variables, discrete probability distribution, continuous probability distribution, sampling distributions, inferential statistics, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing and simple correlation.

Course Content:

Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode, range); measures of dispersion (variance, standard deviation); histogram; diagrams, charts and plots, distinguishing between sample and the population; probability; permutation; combination; probability rules; bivariate probability, joint probability; conditional probability; Bayes’ theorem, discrete and continuous variables and probability distributions (binomial, Poisson, exponential distributions); expected value; sampling and sampling distribution (sampling distribution of the sample mean and sample proportion); point estimation; confidence interval; hypothesis testing (z, student’s t, F and Chi-square distributions); linear correlation; population and sample correlation coefficient.
