Description

The overall aim of this course is to help students to develop an understanding of the fundamental theory, logic of research and develops the statistical sense. In doing so, the course is intended to familiarize students with the basic research methodology concepts, main research processes, undertaking a research project related to their field, different measures of central tendency, different probability distributions with emphasis on Normal distribution, bases of linear regression and correlation coefficient, sampling distributions, error analysis and Statistical computer applications will be practiced.
