Co-curricular activities:
Objective is to apply the theoretical concept to real life data which enhances the learning
and interpretation ability to the current environment.

CoCA I: (i) Collect primary or secondary data and establish frequency distribution.
(ii) Suitable pictorial/ Graphical representation to the established frequency
distribution

CoCA II: (i) Select the data and then calculate AM,Median and Mode and interpret the
result.
(ii) Calculate the skewness based on central values and interpret the degree of
departure of a distribution from symmetry and the direction of scatterdness of
the items.

CoCA III: (i) Calculate the dispersion values of a data for a single or double data sets and
todraw conclusions from the comparison of averages.
(ii) Select the bivariate data (for example, select marks of any two subjects of your
course) and calculate the degree of association and establish the linear
relationship and find the forecasting value.

CoCA IV: If there is an internet facility at your college/home, go through the Ministry of
Statistics and Program Implementationsite www.mospi.gov.into know about
the Indian Statistical System and https://desap.cgg.gov.inor www.apdes.in to
know about the Andhra Pradesh Directorate of Economics and
Statistics(APDES) and its activities.
