kurtosis; Moments; Scatter diagram, Correlation coefficient & linear regression in bi-variate set-up,
Framework of multiple linear regression, Multiple and partial correlation coefficients.

STAT 0231 (Arts)- Common Distributions & Statistical inference: Bernoulli trials, Binomial, Poisson &
Normal distributions; Chi-square, t & F distributions (only statement of definition and useful
properties); Concept of estimation, unbiasedness, standard error; Fundamentals of hypothesis testing,
Technical demonstration (with reference to a data set) of tests under normal set-up for a single mean
and the equality of two means, Pearsonian chi-square test for independence.

STAT 0232 (Sc.)- Probability Theory: Random experiments; Sample space; mutually exclusive &
exhaustive events; Classical definition of probability with examples; Independence of events; Theorems
of total & compound probability; Bayes theorem with its application; Random variables; Probability
mass & density functions; Distribution function; Population Moments; Independence of variables, sum
& product law of expectation; Moment generating function.

STAT 0331 (Arts & Sc.)- Statistics in Applied & Social Sciences: Index number- Consumer and wholesale
price index numbers and their uses; Time series analysis- Different components, determination of trend
by mathematical curve fitting and moving average methods; Sample survey methodology- Concept of
population and sample, Simple random sampling (SRS) with and without replacement, Stratified
sampling.

STAT 0332 (Sc.)- Distributions in Statistics: Discrete case- Geometric, Binomial & Poisson distributions;
Continuous case: Transformation of variables; Uniform, Normal, Beta & Gamma distributions; Sampling
distributions of sample mean & variance under normal set-up, chi-square, t & F distributions (statement
and use only); Bivariate distribution- marginal & conditional distributions, properties of Bivariate normal
distribution (Statement only).

STAT 0431 (Sc.)- Statistical Inference: Theory of estimation- MSE & standard error of an estimator,

moments; Testing of hypothesis- Fundamentals of hypothesis testing, test under normal set-up for a
single mean and variance, the equality of two means and two variances; Outline of analysis of variance
(ANOVA) tests in one-way classified data & two-way classified data (single observation per cell).
