This course will introduce students to many of the important concepts and procedures needed to interpret uses of statistics in the media, at home or at work, and to use data to make decisions.
The emphasis will be on performing statistical procedures and interpreting the results to draw conclusions. The course covers methods of descriptive statistics, probability theory, and inferential statistics, including confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and linear regression. This course also includes review of foundational topics needed for the standard Elementary Statistics outcomes. Many other programs recommend Elementary Statistics or its level of competence for continued study leading to a related field.
