Semester - IV Syllabus


B.Sc. II Year, IV Semester (CBCS): Statistics Syllabus
Paper-IV: Inference (DSC-2D)
(4 HPW with 4 Credits and 100 Marks)

Unit –I
Concepts of statistical hypothesis, null and alternative hypothesis, critical region, two types of errors, level of significance and power of a test. One and two tailed tests, test function (nonrandomized and randomized). Statement and Proof of Neyman-Pearson’s fundamental lemma for Randomized tests. Examples in case of Binomial, Poisson, Exponential and Normal distributions and their powers.
Unit II
Large sample tests for single sample mean, difference of means, single sample proportion,
difference of proportions and difference of standard deviations. Fisher’s Z-transformation for population correlation coefficient(s) and testing the same in case of one sample and two samples. Definition of order statistics and statement of their distributions.

Unit – III
Tests of significance based on χ 2 : χ2 - test for specified variance, goodness of fit and test for
independence of attributes (rxs, 2xk and 2x2 contingency tables). Tests of significance based on student’s – t: t-test for single sample specified mean, difference of means for independent and related samples, sample correlation coefficient. F-test for equality of population variances.

Unit – IV
Non-parametric tests: their advantages and disadvantages, comparison with parametric tests.
Measurement scale- nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio. Use of Central Limit Theorem in testing. One sample runs test, sign test and Wilcoxon-signed rank tests (single and paired samples). Two independent sample tests: Median test, Wilcoxon –Mann-Whitney U test, Wald Wolfowitz’s runs test. Use of central limit theorem in testing.
