Course Goal / Objective
This course aims to teach to interprete results of a variety of statistical techniques from both descriptive and inferential statistics; to understand the fundamental concepts in statistics including sampling, experimentation, variability, distribution, association, causation, estimation, confidence, hypothesis testing, and significance; to critically review and analyze statistical arguments.
Course Content
Topics include both descriptive and inferential statistics: variables; graphical analysis of one or more qualitative and quantitative variables; numerical summaries to measure characteristics such as the center of a distribution, variation in a distribution, and symmetry or skewness in a distribution; random sampling; the normal distribution; the Central Limit Theorem; one and two sample hypothesis tests and confidence intervals involving means and proportions; one-way analysis of variance; the chi-square goodness-of-fit test; the chi-square test concerning independence in a two-way contingency table; Pearson correlation and testing for significance with simple linear regression.
