Course Description This second course in Statistics aims at enhancing student’s understanding and competency in carrying out quantitative analysis in business, economic, social sciences and computer sciences, The course covers areas such as sampling and sampling distribution, point and interval estimation, test of hypothesis based on critical and p-value approaches. The parameters of interest are one and two population means, variances, proportions, correlation and regression parameters etc. The purpose of the inferential statistics is to test, deduce and infer the validity of different types of hypotheses and models built on the basis of the raw data collected in diverse problem-situations. Course Objective - To enable students to apply various inferential statistical techniques. - Toenable students to test claim about population parameter based on evidence in sample data - To enable students understanding of the measuring and interpreting relationship between or variables - To prepare students for advanced level undergraduate and graduate courses‘Txt Book and Course Reading Material ‘Text Book: -y.
