The aim of this course is to deliver the applicable knowledge about Statistics and Experimental Design, which can apply in different fields of study and to develop a skills on the data collection from a designed experiment, description measures of data, interpretation of results, and decision making.

  1. To impart basic and applied knowledge about Experimental Design and its applications in different fields.
  2. To impart skills on the data collection, description measures of data interpretation of results, and decision making
