Course Name : Statistics

Hours/Week: 3 Lecture : 3

Total Hours: 48

Total Week: 16

Credits: 3

Course Goals At the end of the course the students are expected to learn: a)

b) c)

The basic concept of statistics and statistical methods. The methods of collection and presentation of data, the basic concepts of frequency distribution, central tendency, dispersion, estimations, appropriate tests etc. On the basis of that simple statistics how to draw inference and make conclusions. Moreover, they will be able to handle any survey or enquiry or investigation or research in their respective field and from the collected data they will be able to generate informations and presenting the informations in scientific way to produce or write a sensible report.

Course Description: The course is designed to introduce to the students the basic concept and tools of statistics and enable them to relate these to real life problems. Topics include probability concepts and laws, sample spaces, random variables (discrete and continuous); binomial, poisson, uniform, normal, exponential; two-dimensional variates, expected values. Collection, processing, organization and presentation of data, frequency distribution, measure of central tendency and dispersion, confidence limits, estimation and hypothesis testing, regression, correlation, chi square and non-parametic statistics; time series. Type and source of published statistics in Bangladesh.

Course Outcomes and Sub-Outcomes Understand why we study statistics, organize data represent and those in a simple way, understand probability and its use in decision making, understand why a sample is often the only feasible way to learn something about a population, learn tests of hypothesis to face real life situation and familiarize one self with forecasting method.

Prior Learning Assessment Methods Assessment methods include first-term, mid-term and final examination. There will also be announced and unannounced quizzes. Moreover, the course instructor will give assignments when he finds it appropriate.
