Acquired  Basic concepts and computations of probability,
 Different probability distributions (continuous and discrete),
 Making inferences (estimation of population parameters and tests
of hypotheses)
 Collection of statistical data (methods of data collection,
designing a questionnaire, techniques of sampling).
 Construction of frequency distribution for attributes,
discrete and continuous data,
Course Description/

Course Contents
 Measures of central tendency (arithmetic mean, harmonic
mean, geometric mean, median, and mode)
 Absolute and relative measures of dispersion (range,
quartile deviation, mean deviation and standard deviation
 and associated coefficients)
 Other measures (Skew ness and kurtosis)
 Theory of probability (counting techniques, concepts and
computations of probability, conditional probability,
probability of causes)

Methods
The Lecture and Tutorial parts of the course will each be evaluated
separately for 100 % and the final marks will be arrived at by giving
weights according to the hours allocated to the Lecture and Tutorial
Assessment/ parts. The details are given below :
Evaluation &Grading Lecture Part (Weight 40%) Tutorial Part (Weight 60%)
System Mid-Term Examination: 40 % Assignment (Minimum 3): 30 %
Final Examination: 60 % Quiz (Minimum 3): 30 %
Total 100 % Project/Seminar: 40 %
Total 100%
Attendance A minimum of 85 % attendance during lecture and tutorial sessions
