Course Description This is an introductory statistics course designed for students with
limited statistics and mathematics background. It enables students
understand basic statistical analysis.

Course Objectives This course will enable the students to:


1. Organise, analyse, interpret, summarise the data in a useful and
informative manner.
2. Calculate measures of central tendency and dispersion.

3. Calculate and interpret regression and correlation tests

4. Estimate the population mean.

Learning Outcomes By the end of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Use simple graphical techniques to perform preliminary analysis of
data.
2. Use counting rules to solve permutation and combination problems
associated with probability.
3. Interpret results of measures of central tendency and dispersion.

4. Apply and interpret binomial and normal distributions.

5. Test hypothesis on the mean of a normal population.


Teaching and The class will meet for three hours each week. Class time will be used
