I. VISION
To become an ASEAN premier state university in 2020.
II. MISSION
The Pangasinan State University, through instruction, research, extension and production
commits to develop highly principled morally upright, innovative and globally competent
individuals capable of meeting the needs of industry, public service and civil society.

III. INSTITUTIONAL LEARNING OUTCOMES

The Pangasinan State University Institutional Learning Outcomes (PSU ILO) are the qualities
that PSUnians must possess. These outcomes are anchored on the following core values:
Accountability and Transparency, Credibility and Integrity, Competence and Commitment to
Achieve, Excellence in Service Delivery, Social and Environmental Responsiveness, and
Spirituality – (ACCESS). Anchored on these core values, the PSU graduates are able to:
1. Demonstrate through institutional mechanisms, systems, policies, and processes which
are reflective of transparency, equity, participatory decision making, and accountability;
2. Engage in relevant, comprehensive and sustainable development initiatives through
multiple perspectives in decisions and actions that build personal and professional
credibility and integrity.
3. Set challenging goals and tasks with determination and sense of urgency which provide
continuous improvement and producing quality outputs leading to inclusive growth;
4. Exhibit life-long learning and global competency proficiency in communication skills,
inter/interpersonal skills, entrepreneurial skills, innovative mindset, research and
production initiatives and capability in meeting the industry requirements of local,
ASEAN and international human capital market through relevant and comprehensive
programs;
5. Display, socially and environmentally responsive organizational culture, which ensures
higher productivity among the university constituents and elevate the welfare of the
multi-sectoral communities and;
6. Practice spiritual values and morally upright behavior which promote and inspire
greater harmony to project a credible public image.

IV. COURSE DESCRIPTION:

 This course introduces basic statistical concepts of probability, the use of statistical tests
in research, how to choose the appropriate statistical tools applicable for a given research
problem, one – and – two sample tests and test of relationship of variables.
V. COURSE OBJECTIVES:
A. General Objectives

At the end of the course, students should be able to apply these skills and produce
a complete analysis of a straightforward real-world problem.

B. Specific Objectives
Specifically, the student should be able to:

1. To introduce the basic laws of probability, statistical inference, and the

principles of data analysis.
2. To use appropriate methods of data collection and presentation.
4. To summarize data using different numerical measures.
5. To demonstrate knowledge of the basic terms, concepts and procedures in
statistics;
6. To make inferences about the mean and proportion of one and two
populations using sample information through estimation and hypothesis
testing;
7. To investigate the linear relationship between two variables by measuring
the strength of association and obtaining a regression equation to describe
the relationship
8. To give you practice in reading statistics articles from the literature and
presenting statistical ideas to others

VI. COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

1. Regular attendance
2. Active participation in class
3. Submission of projects/papers.
4. Passing quizzes, midterm and final exams
5. Group report/activities.
