UBMSFSI 5. Business Statistics – 50 lectures, 3 credit.
Business Statistics is a Semester 1 subject of FYBMS. Business Statistics / Mathematics is important for BMS students as they need to know “how much” profit they would earn, whether it is cumulative or no. Business Statistics helps the future managers to understand the co-relation of different variables of his business.
There are 4 main units in Business Statistics which are as follows:
Unit 1 – Introduction to Statistics – 12 lectures
