1. Define statistics and statistical terms such as sample and population; give the history and importance of the study of statistics.
    
2. Collect statistical data and organize in a table.
       2.1  state and explain the different sampling techniques
    
3. Analyze, interpret accurately and draw conclusions from graphic and tabular presentations of statistical data.
    
4. Read and understand tables and graphs containing statistical data.
       4.1  construct frequency distribution tables.
                                                 
5. Find the mean, median and mode of given data: grouped and ungrouped data
       5.1  use the rules of summation to find sums
       5.2  find the arithmetic mean: ungrouped and grouped data
       5.3  find the median: ungrouped and grouped data
       5.4  find the mode: ungrouped and grouped data
                                                
6. Calculate the different measures of variability relative to a given set of data, grouped and ungrouped
   1. range
   2. standard deviation
       
       6.1 give the characteristics of a set of data using the measures of variability.
