This course deals with the definition of statistics and its methodology as well as the graphical presentation of data .In addition, it includes, measurements of averages' central tendency as well as the dispersion measurement. Besides, this course encompasses an introduction to the concept of correlation and its measurement. Moreover , the course presents both Point Biserial coefficient for correlation and Spearman rank coefficient .It also deals with the statistical analysis of demographic data. The course ends with introducing the concept of probability , its definition, some of its rules and some examples of applications .
|
Objectives: The course aims at :
1- Learning some commonly used statistical techniques.
2- Applying these techniques in describing and analyzing data.
3- Using statistics to solve different kind of problems.
Contents:
1- Statistics' methodology, data graphical representation ,accumulated Frequency distributions, Measurement of Averages' Central Tendency and arithmetic meant. Dispersion measurements relation between Averages and Dispersion.
2- Correlation : introduction , definition, measurement. Pearson' linear correlation coefficient, Point Biserial correlation coefficient, Spearman ٌRank Correlation Coefficient, Fay pairing coefficient and Simple Linear Regression.
3- Statistical analysis for demographic data - Probability theory : definition , rules, examples.).
Course Outcomes:
A- Knowledge:
Identifying statistics and applying it to humanitarian , social and economic fields
B-Cognitive Skills
The students distinguish between the types of statistical data, the advantage of each type and their application to help them gain analytical skills and find out the relation between phenomena under study .
C- Interpersonal skills and responsibilities
The course enables the student to solve statistics problems
D- Analysis and communication:
improve the students logical thinking and skills to solve statistics problems
