BIOSTATISTICS

Course Description

The main topics of this course are basic statistical definitions, definitions of population and sample, types of data, descriptive statistics, and classification of data. Then, discussing the measures of central tendency such as calculating mean, median and determining mode; and measures of dispersion such as calculating range, variance and standard deviation. In addition to these, students are able to work on frequency tables, data visualization by graphics, probability distributions, some well-known discrete and continuous probability distributions such as normal, binomial and Poisson distributions. Finally, statistical tests for checking normality, the main idea of sampling, sampling distributions and sampling distribution of mean and confidence intervals will be covered in this course.
