CO46:Explain the basic properties of normal probability curves.

CO47: Explain the logic and appropriate applications of statistical analyses for univariate or bivariate research designs, problems, or hypotheses. 

CO48: Calculate the statistics necessary to solve problems including descriptive statistics, statistical significance tests.

CO49: Explain and analyze distribution free statistics.

CO50: Apply and interpret common inferential statistical tests and Analysis of Variance.
