Catalog Description

In this course the concepts of statistics, the science of collecting, organizing, and interpreting
numerical data are discussed. Emphasis will be placed on statistical reasoning and data analysis. The
main topics are study design, descriptive statistics, probability theory, and statistical inference . As a
precursor to the study of cryptography studies will be made on impact of various techniques for
finding independence or dependence between data variables. The concepts learnt in the studies of
statistics will be applied practically to solve number of real life problems using the statistical
package like R and SPSS.

Course Objectives

The objective of this course is to

1. Equip the students with concepts of statistics through problem solving and
analytical approach.

2. Provide an overview of various statistical techniques: descriptive and inferential,

parametric and non-parametric and practical statistics using R and SPSS.

Course Outcomes

On completion of this course, the students will be able to

CO 1: Explain, describe and distinguish various population, sample, type of variables, measurement
scales, central tendency, percentile and solve problems related to them.

CO 2: Explain the concept of descriptive and inferential statistics; probability theory; Solve problems
based on probability; Explain binomial, poisson distribution and solve real life problems
related to discrete and continuous random variable.

CO 3: Describe the concept of sampling distribution for large and small samples; Explain the concept
of hypothesis testing and solve problems related using t-distribution and standard normal
distribution.

CO 4: Explain concept of covariance and correlation and its applications in real life; Explain Anova
and its use in real life problem solving; Explain and compare various regression analysis
methods statistics for prediction
 CO 5: Explain various parametric and nonparametric test and apply them to solve real life statistical
problems
