About

You will be able to

  • Collect, classify and present data in tables and graphs
  • Calculate mean, median and mode for raw and grouped data
  • Measure dispersion using range, standard deviation and coefficient of variation
  • Compute Karl Pearson and Spearman correlation and fit regression lines
  • Solve basic probability problems and use binomial, Poisson and normal distributions

Who it is for

  • BCA students of Semester 3 (UP state universities, Lucknow University pattern)
  • Students who want a base for data analytics and data science

What you need

  • Class 10-12 arithmetic; a scientific calculator

Questions

Which syllabus does this Elements of Statistics course follow?

It follows the common UP state university BCA syllabus (University of Lucknow pattern) for BCA Semester 3. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and unit order.

Can I use a calculator in the exam?

Most universities allow a simple scientific calculator; the trainer teaches calculator shortcuts for mean and SD.

Will Excel be used?

Yes, as an add-on. The trainer shows the same calculations with Excel functions such as AVERAGE, STDEV and CORREL.
