Overview

This course introduces the basic concepts in descriptive statistics by introducing the methods of collecting data and arranging it, how to present them in frequency tables, and representing these tables with an appropriate graph, as well as introducing the students to the methods of data analysis using measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, measures of torsion and flattening, and comparing the characteristics of these different scales.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the course, the students should be able to:

1. Learn about the terms and synonyms commonly used in the field of statistics and the types of statistical data collected from the study

2. Explain the measures of central tendency and their use and on the homogeneity and dispersion of statistical data by knowing the most important measures of dispersion.

3. To illustrate the distribution of statistical data by knowing the most important measures of torsion and kurtosis

4. The types of statistical data and the characteristics of each of them and the study of the relationships between the phenomena under study.

5. Analyze statistical data to solve some economic, social and health problems

6. Interpret and analyze Statistical Results and Graph of Statistical Data

7. Distinguish between statistical data collected from previous studies.

8. Use different statistical measures to represent data and find the relationship between them

Teaching and learning methods

The course will be introduced to the student through lectures, panel discussions, assignments and exercises, discussion and dialogue.
