Area of Study :

This course uses different statistical methods in analyzing data and how it can be attained through various sampling techniques as well as explaining sampling errors. It provides students with the suitable technicalities as conducting surveys and questionnaires. It stresses on hypothesis testing, confidence interval, interpretations of economic variables, variables estimation and sampling distributions. Course Goals: • Prepare students with a deeper insight on the possible sub-fields in economics and related fields. • Recognize and analyze testing hypothesis and estimation. • Organize analyses, interpret and summarize the data in a useful and informative manner.
