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.
