Course Objective

The main objective of the course is to give the student an elementary introduction to the practice of statistics. This course will give insight into how an analyst gathers, summarizes, and draws conclusions from economical or business data. At the end of the course, the student should be a critical consumer of this information.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to understand the relation of science and statistics
2   To be able to use measures of central tendency and variation
3   To be able to present frequencies with graphs
4   To be able to classify variables with regard to their features
5   To be able to identify the shape of the distribution by using the measures of central tendency
6   To be able to define the basic concepts of statistics
7   To be able to show the relations between distributions
