Subject Name: Statistical Analysis Through Excel-Practicals

Course Code: SEC-236

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Statistical analysis through Excel is a course which provides knowledge regarding data analysis using
functions of Excel. It shows beauty of statistical tools which are predefined in excel and used to sort
information as well as to extract meaning for large datasets.
PRE-REQUISITE
Knowledge about various commonly used functions of statistics like Summation, Average, Standard
Deviation, Range etc. is required for the course. In many institutes, Basic of Descriptive statistics is
already introduced in previous semester. Basic concept of graphs is available in syllabus of 10th and
12th standard which can help them to know nature of data or its trend using charts on excel. These
statistical tools are very much helpful for the sector which deals with metadata. Excel allows to use
functions and to ask questions about data without writing complicated formulas. Data can be
analysed through normal language. Functions are very simple to understand. Topics which are
covered are just essence of statistical tools for the representation of data. It touches few important
points of descriptive statistics. In excel, series of numeric data can be displayed as well as different
charts can be applied to same data which helps to take decision about nature of data. It makes easier
to understand large quantities of data and the relationship between different series of data.
CO-REQUISITE
The learner should understand mathematical formulas and symbols. They should have knowledge
simple commands of Microsoft Excel.
COURSE OUTCOMES
This section touches few but important part of descriptive statistics; it is providing basic
information relating to the statistics in Excel. Thus, the students will have proper understanding of
the subject in depth. It helps them to learn that how excel make complex metadata easy to evaluate.
It helps the learner to analyse data in computer using Excel which can further help them in future to
fulfil their job perspective in Commerce or for further study.
