2. PRACTICAL: Dr. Uttam Sarkar & Dr. M. Roy
Systematic
approach of data, tabulation, simple probability problems. Estimation
of measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and estimation of
measures of dispersion (variance, standard deviation, standard error and
coefficient of variation): for simple and grouped data. Graphical
representation of data. Tests of significance -t, Z, Chi-Squares and
F tests. Estimation of correlation. Estimation of regression. Analysis
