This document outlines the course content and objectives for Statistics I (DBAD3002), taught by Amrita Jain. The course aims to introduce students to the field of statistics and demonstrate its applications in business. It will establish the link between statistics and data, differentiate between population and sample data, and descriptive and inferential statistics. The course content covers topics like data collection and presentation, measures of central tendency, dispersion, shape of distribution, correlation, regression, and the use of MS-Excel for statistical analysis. Recommended textbooks are provided.
