Description

Social computing and informatics brings together people, technology, information and innovation. People, organizations, industries and communities interact, connect and collaborate in social context. Digital systems support online research, education, health, communication and entertainment. Organizations harness the power of social computing and informatics to enhance business transactions and boost reputation. Amazon applies social computing to engage and captivate customers, boasting impressive 27.8 million Facebook page likes and 2.7 million followers. Amazon promptly and directly responds to the customers on Facebook, swiftly addressing all comments and ensuring that clients are well satisfied with the services. Due to comprehensive collection of feedback and reviews from the previous customers, effectively demonstrating the excellence of its products and services, most people trust Amazon. Hence, without digital systems and connections to the Internet nothing can be achieved. Bachelor of Information Science (BIS) level four or fourth year consists of 10 core course units or subjects, with 5 course units per semester. BIS CIS 403: Social Computing and Informatics explores human-computer/human-machine/human-machine product interactions and its impact in the society.

LESSON 4: MEASURES OF DISPERSION Trending!
The measures of central tendency are not sufficient measures to reveal the shape of the distribution of data set. The measures that show the spread of a data set are called the measures of dispersion. The main measures of dispersion are range, inter quartile range, standard deviation, variance and coefficient of variation. In this lesson we will discuss these measures of dispersion.

LESSON 6: SKEWNESS AND KURTOSIS Trending!
Skewness refers to lack of symmetry. A skewed distribution is a frequency distribution that is asymmetric (not symmetric). When the longer tail of a distribution extends to the right, it is said to be skewed to the right and when the longer tail of a distribution extends to the left, it said to be skewed to the left.
