6. Course Description:
The course covers topics in descriptive statistics such as measures of central
tendency, measures of variability, skewness, and kurtosis, principles of counting,
permutation, and combination; principles of probability, covering additive rules, conditional
probability, multiplicative rules, and Bayes rule; concepts of random variable and
mathematical expectation; discrete and continuous probability distributions; normal
distribution. It also designed to provide a working knowledge of the fundamental concepts
of inferential statistics for the understanding and interpretation of statistical results and

10. Opportunities to Develop Lifelong Learning Skill

Through the various concepts and applications of statistics and probability, students will develop their
logical thinking through analysis of the problems encountered in these areas of mathematics. Moreover,
students will be introduced to statistical research that will help them realize the usefulness of statistics in their
chosen field of studies.

Other Course Policies

a. Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more than
20% of the total number of meetings or 9 hrs for a three-unit-course. Students incurring more
than 9 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class
standing.
b. Submission of Assessment Tasks (Student Outputs) should be on time; late submittal of
courseworks will not be accepted.
c. Written Major Examination (Long Quiz and Final Exams) will be administered as scheduled. No
special exam will be given unless with a valid reason subject to approval by the Chairman of the
Mathematics Department.
d. Course Portfolio will be collected at the end of the quarter.
e. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and spoken work may receive
a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the instructor, deficient in English.
f.

Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the Institute. We have all
committed to obey and sustain these codes. It will be expected in this class that each of us will
honor the commitments that we have made.
For this course the Honor Code is that there will be no plagiarizing on written work and no
cheating on exams. Proper citation must be given to authors whose works were used in the
process of developing instructional materials and learning in this course. If a student is caught
cheating on an exam, he or she will be given zero mark for the exam. If a student is caught
cheating twice, the student will be referred to the Prefect of Student Affairs and be given a failing
grade.

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the faculty room and in the
Departments web-page (http://math.mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student first set
an appointment to confirm the instructors availability.
