CSHP 307: Software Lab based on STC 301 List of Exercises The goal of this lab is to develop data

a interpretation skills. Following exercises are designed to enable students to understand data characteristics either by visualization or by interpreting computed measures. All the excercises are to be completed using MS Excel functions and graphs. At the end of each exercise, the student should be able to draw a conclusion and state in a concise manner. Teachers are expected to guide students to obtain real data available through internet for the following exercises. Some suggested sites are: http://www.censusindia.gov.in/ http://www.visualizing.org/data/browse http://www.who.int/gho/publications/world_health_statistics/2012/en/index.html 1. Presentation of discrete data through frequency table, and different types of charts (Bar, Colum, Pie charts) 2. Presentation of data through multiple line chart, frequency polygon, ogive 3. Presentation of bivariate data through scatter-plot diagram. 4. Computation of measures of central tendency (Arithmetic mean, median, mode, Harmonic mean and geometric mean). 5. Measures of dispersion (Variance, standard deviation, mean deviation, range, minimum, maximum, coefficient of variation) 6. Calculation of first four raw and central moments through formula-bar. 7. Measure of skewness and kurtosis. 8. Fitting of binomial distribution and graphical representation of probabilities. 9. Fitting of Poisson distribution and graphical representation of probabilities. 10. Fitting of Normal distribution (expected normal frequencies). 11. Calculation of cumulative distribution function for normal distribution. 12. Fitting of exponential distribution and graphical representation of probabilities.
