What this module is

This module is designed for students in 4 th year students (RBEC). It
serves as a prerequisite. It will introduce the main ideas of statistical
inference emphasising the use of likelihood for estimation and testing. These
ideas are fundamental to the use of statistics in modern applications such as
mathematical finance, telecommunications, bioinformatics as well as more
traditional areas such as insurance, engineering and the social sciences.

Lesson 1
Definition of Terms Related to Statistics
Statistics is the study of the collection, analysis, interpretation,
presentation, and organization of data. In applying statistics to, e.g., a
scientific, industrial, or societal problem, it is conventional to begin with a
statistical population or a statistical model process to be studied. Populations
can be diverse topics such as "all persons living in a country" or "every atom
composing a crystal". It deals with all aspects of data including the planning of
data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments.
