Course Details

COURSE CODE Ed. Math 14

COURSE NAME Advanced Statistics
COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is designed to deepen students’ concepts and techniques that are
essential to data processing and analysis. Topics will cover non-parametric
statistics such as Rank Tests for one sample, two samples, and k samples, test
for randomness, association tests, distribution tests, and tests for
independence. This course will enhance students’ ability in using statistical
software such as SPSS to automate data processing..
NUMBER OF UNITS 3 units (Lec.)
PREREQUISITE

B. Course Outcomes
At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
1. Exhibit mastery of basic concepts and procedures of non-parametric statistics by illustrating examples that
apply statistical concepts;
2. Exhibit proficiency in analyzing data by using appropriate technology for informed decision-making;
3. Display competence in the correct usage of statistical tests by conducting investigations and researches to
formulate data-driven conclusions and decisions;
4. Demonstrate competence in utilizing appropriate statistical tests to analyze teacher-made test results,
students’ performance, and provide feedback for improvement;
5. Demonstrate proficiency in problem solving by giving appropriate examples that can be solved using non-
parametric statistics;
6. Appreciate statistics by advocating the use of statistical data in making important decisions in everyday life.
