VIII- Objectives :
The student will be able to apply statistical techniques in interpreting the data
which will be handled in their research activities and also in their professional
activities.
IX- Suggested Activities:
The topics will be covered by both theoretical discussion and solution of class room
problems using the data of practical interest.
X -Teaching Strategy:
All topics will be taught by solution of class room problems of practical interest.
Students will be asked to solve the problems similar to the problems discussed in
the class.
XI Course Requirements:
1) Must appear at least two quizzes before the midterm examination and also before the
final examination.
2) Must appear at the Midterm and Final examination.
3) Students must have 80% attendance to pass the course.
