Course Objective

The purpose of this course is to introduce the students with the statistics and probability. This course emphasizes on describing the statistics, classifying data, calculating central tendency and variation measures, using tables and graphics, evaluating permutation, combination and probability, obtaining probability distributions for both discrete and continuous random variables and using some special probability distributions.
