Course Designed by Department of
Mathematics
Data Book/Codes/Standards:NIL
Course Objectives:
1. To provide students with a framework that will help them choose the appropriate
descriptive methods in various data analysis situations.
2. To analyse distributions and relationship of real-time data.
3. To apply estimation and testing methods to make inference and modelling
techniques for decision making.
Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course the student should be able to:
1. Compute and interpret descriptive statistics using numerical and graphical techniques.
2. Apply Statistical methods like correlation, regression analysis in analysing,
interpreting experimental data.
3. Understand the basic concepts of random variables and find an appropriate
distribution for analysing data specific to an experiment.
4. Make Appropriate decisions using statistical inference that is the central to
experimental research.
5. Use Statistical methodology and tools in reliability engineering
