Course Syllabus
Number of Credit Units
• 3 Units
Number of Sessions
• 18 Sessions, 54 hours
Course Description
• This course focuses primarily on the
descriptive branch of statistics that comprise
of data analysis and organization of raw data
into frequency table, measures of central
tendency and dispersion, other descriptive
statistics, introduction of probability and
counting techniques, probability law rules,
random variables, mathematical expectation,
discrete and continuous probability
distributions.
• Applications to real world setting and on the
inferential branch of statistics that includes
sampling theory and sampling distribution,
central limit theorem, estimation of means,
proportion and standard deviation for single
and two populations, test of hypotheses for
single and two populations, test of hypotheses
for single and two populations, chi square
test, ANOVA, linear regression and correlation
analysis, multiple linear regression and non-
parametric statistics.
Course Objectives
• The course should be able to:
1. Provide the students with the basic
knowledge and understanding of concepts
and applications of descriptive and inferential
statistics.
2. Equip the students with the various statistical
tools needed in assessing and analyzing
actual real world problems.
3. Provide the students a springboard for
advance learning in statistics and its
applications in the real world.
