    Course Overview: The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to statistical methods
    and their applications in economics and business. The course also introduces statistical software
    packages for practical applications.

    Pre-requisites: STA 101

    Co-requisites: None

    Learning Outcomes: The learning outcomes of this course and the corresponding program out-
    comes are as follows:

    Course Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes


    Understand the basic concepts, theories and PLO1: KNOWLEDGE
    CO1
    tools of statistics used in economic and business analysis. PLO2: ANALYSIS

    Textbook(s): The required textbook for this course is:

    • Statistics for Business and Economics, 8th edition, by Newbold et al.

    The book will serve mainly as a useful reference tool and as a supplement to lectures, which are
    the primary learning tool in this class. This is not a class where you can memorize the textbook
    and expect to get a good grade at the end of the semester: regular attendance at lecture and effort
    expended in doing problems will be essential ingredients for doing well.

    Course Assessment Methods: The requirements for this course are quizzes, assignments, midterm
    exam, final exam and attendance. The corresponding grade shares are outlined in the table below.

    Classroom Policies: Since it is worth 5% of your overall grade, attendance is highly recom-
    mended. Please note that the material we cover each week builds on the content of the previous
    weeks. If you miss class, you are still responsible for the material that was covered. I recommend
    you to try to catch up right away: if not, you will find yourself slipping farther and farther behind.

    Late Work and Examinations: The dates and times for quizzes will be announced in class.
    Late assignments will not be accepted, unless there is an acceptable reason. Students who know
    Course Requirement Percentage
    Quizzes 15
    Assignments 15
    Midterm Exam 25
    Final Exam 40
    Attendance 5
    Total 100

    that they are going to miss a class assessment, should make arrangements in advance.

    Grading Policies:Student’s grades are assigned according to the grading scale of the BRAC Uni-
    versity Undergraduate Study and Examinations Regulations. In addition, the faculty are allowed
    to take into consideration the class average and standard deviation to reflect the actual class per-
    formance for student grade assignment.

    Course Contents and Schedules: The tentative list of topics to be covered are the following;
    however, changes may be made based on pedagogical reasons.
