Objective:
1. To develop in students ability to identify the area of population, the art of collection of data, meaningful
segregation, presentation of data and interpretation of collected data so as to deal with data analysis.
2. To handle various types of data and their graphical representation. To use the data for further analysis using
measures of central tendency.
3. To find the summary measures, viz. measure of dispersion.

Course Outcome: After completing the course, a student will have:


 Knowledge of Statistics, its scope and importance in various fields.
 Ability to understand concepts of sample vs population abd different types of data.
 Knowledge of methods for summarising data sets, including common graphical tools (such as boxplots,
histograms and stem plots), Interpret histogram and boxplots.
 Ability to describe data with measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion.

Unit I: 15 Hrs
Introduction to Statistics and Basic Concepts: Data: Primary and secondary data, different methods of collection
of primary data with merits and demerits. Sources of secondary data. Classification: Meaning, objectives of
classification- Chronological, Geographical, Qualitative and Quantitative classifications with illustrations. Formation
of discrete and continuous frequency distributions.
Tabulation: Format of a statistical table and its parts. Types of table, examples of preparation of a blank table and
tables with numerical information.
Diagrammatic and Graphical representation of Data: Diagrams: Meaning, importance of diagrams and general
rules of construction of diagrams. Types of Diagrams- simple, multiple, component, percentage bar diagrams and pie
diagrams with simple illustrations.
Graphs: Types of Graphs-Histogram, Frequency polygon curve and Ogives, simple problems, location of mode,
median and partition values from the graphs, Difference between diagrams and graphs.

Unit II: 15 Hrs


Measures of Central Tendency: Meaning of central tendency and essentials of a good measure of central tendency.
Types of measures of central tendency: Arithmetic mean, Median, Mode, Geometric mean and Harmonic mean-
definition, merits and demerits, Properties of arithmetic mean, Empirical relation between mean, median and mode.
Problems on both grouped and ungrouped data for all the measures.

Unit III: 15 Hrs


Measures of Dispersion: Meaning and objectives of measures of dispersion. Essentials of a good measure of
dispersion, absolute and relative measures of dispersion. Types of measures of dispersion- Range, Quartile deviation,
Mean deviation and standard deviation with relative measures-definition, merits and demerits. Properties of Standard
deviation, simple problems on ungrouped and grouped data.
