Course Objective

This course introduces students to the basic theory behind the development and assessment of statistical analysis techniques in the areas of point and interval estimation and hypothesis testing.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Explain the concepts of random sample and statistics
2   Define the fundamental sampling distributions and its properties
3   Understand how to derive point estimators and their properties
4   Understand the theory behind confidence intervals
5   Understand the theory behind hypothesis testing and basic concepts of it (simple and composite hypotheses, rejection region, Type I and Type II error, power function, etc.)
6   Use the theory behind normal-based inference procedures for the one and two-sample problems
7   Obtain the most powerful critical region for simple hypothesis
