Description

The student should be able to have a foundation in statistical analysis and be able to manipulate statistical data.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Summarise, describe data and identify the position of a data value in a dataset.

2.

Determine the probability of an event using probability rules.

3.

Calculate the probability for outcomes using discrete and continuous distributions.

4.

Calculate confidence intervals for population mean, proportion and variance.

5.

Perform hypothesis testing using parametric and nonparametric tests.

6.

Make decisions and draw conclusions on the basis of statistical analysis.

Indicative Syllabus

  1. Descriptive Statistics: Measures of Central Tendency and Measures of Dispersion, Sampling. Use of corresponding statistical functions in Excel/statistical software.
  2. Laws of Probability: Addition Rule, Multiplication Rule, Conditional Probability, Bayes's Theorem
  3. Discrete Probability Distributions: Binomial, Poisson, Geometric and Hypergeometric distributions. Use of statistical software to calculate probability distributions.
  4. Continuous Probability Distributions: Uniform, Normal and Exponential distributions. Normal distribution as approximation to Binomial. Central Limit Theorem. Use of statistical software to calculate probability distributions.
  5. Estimation: Point estimation and confidence intervals. Confidence intervals for population mean. T Distribution. Confidence Intervals for a population proportion. Determining sample size. Confidence Intervals for a population variance.  Distribution. Use of statistical software to develop confidence intervals.
  6. Hypothesis Testing: Fundamentals, Testing a claim about a mean, proportion, standard deviation or variance. P-values. Use statistical software to perform hypothesis testing.
  7. Inference from Two Samples: Inference about two means, independent samples and matched pairs. Inference about two proportions. Comparing variation in two samples. F Distribution. Use of statistical software to perform corresponding test.
  8. Chi Squared Tests: Goodness of Fit Testing, Contingency Tables
  9. Nonparametric Statistics: Sign test, Wilcoxon test.
