Learning Outcomes of the course unitBy the end of the course, the students should be able to:
  1. Summarize, calculate and interpret the measures of location (mean, mode, and median), measures of dispersion (variance, standard deviation, range), skweness and kurtosis. Apply these in the practice of health sciences.
  2. Calculate, and interpret probabilities in pharmaceutical sciences.
  3. Use data to estimate parameters and calculate confidence intervals for the population mean the percentage and differences of means and percentages.
  4. Apply hypothesis testing in real data situations.
  5. Simulate models using regression.
  6. Evaluate experiments and factors using contingency tables and hypothesis testing.
