Course Type: Compulsory (Compulsory/Core/Elective) Pre-requisites No Goals This course is intended to provide the student with an understanding with the application of some basic statistical techniques in real life. Upon the successful completion of the course the student should be able to explore more adequately the connection between theory of basic sciences and statistics; presentation and analysis of data and the relationship between different variables Text Books Frederick J Gravetter Larry B.

Lectures 32 sessions of 90 minutes each Attendance Policy A minimum of 70% attendance is required for a student to be eligible to take the final examination. The students with less than 70% of the attendance in a course shall be given the grade SA (Short Attendance) in such a course and shall not be allowed to take its End Term Exams and will have to reappear in the course to get the required attendance to be eligible to sit in the exam when the course is offered the next time. Grading The course will be evaluated on the basis of the following percentage: Mid Term 25% Sessional work 25% o Presentation/Practical 10% o Assignment/Practical 10% o Quizzes 05% Final term 50% Quizzes, Assignments and This course is intended to provide the student with an understanding Presentation Schedule with the application of some basic statistical techniques in basic Science.
