be deducted for each day late. No assignment will be accepted after
one week from the due date.
5. Project is a group task. Each group should comprise of three
members. It should generally include the selection and application
of a suitable statistical analysis technique for a real-world problem
or case study. The report should contain the problem statement,
statistical procedure, results and discussion, in addition to satisfying
the technical report requirements. Also, attach a peer evaluation of
the contribution of each member with the report.
6. No extra credit or bonus work will be given.
7. The information and subject matter included in this syllabus is
