The purpose is to equip students with data collection skills, correlations, analysis, hypothesis formulation and testing methods. The objectives are for students to learn skills such as computing correlation coefficients, regression analysis, hypothesis testing and non-parametric statistics. The course content is spread out over 14 weeks covering topics such as correlation, regression, sampling, hypothesis testing, tests of proportions and non-parametric methods. Students will be evaluated through exams, a tutorial assignment and a final exam.

By the end of this lecture, you should be able to: Identify theoretical distributions, Distinguish between discrete and continuous theoretical distributions, Use theoretical distributions to make managerial decisions.

At the end of this course unit, the trainee should be able to;- broaden his/her knowledge in mathematical application; understand and appreciate the role of quantitative methods in decision making; collect and organize statistical data for management; analyze quantitative data for management decision making & Apply quantitative methods in solving business problems.

This document provides an overview of key concepts in biostatistics and statistical methods used in health studies. It defines statistics as techniques used to draw conclusions from empirical data and introduces common statistical terms like population, sample, bias, and primary and secondary data.

The document is a table of contents for a statistics textbook. It outlines 7 chapters that will be covered: Introduction, Collection of Data, Organization and Representation of Data, Analysis and Interpretation of Data, Measures of Dispersion, Correlation and Regression Analysis, and Random Variables and their Probability Distributions. It also lists sample papers and an appendix at the end.

1. Introduction to Social Statistics Social statistics is the use of statistical measurement tools to study human/social behavior in a social environment. This can be accomplished through drawing a particular group of people, evaluating a particular subset of data obtained about a group of people, or by observation and statistical analysis of a set of data that relates to people and their behaviours. Social scientists use social statistics for many purposes, which include: 1) the evaluation of the quality of services provided to a specific group or by a certain organization, 2) analyzing behaviors of groups of people in their environment and special situations, and 3) determining the wants or needs of people through statistical sampling
