Statistics

Course Description: Statistics is a branch of mathematics that seeks to find patterns and order in randomness.

The goal of this course is to introduce to you the fundamentals and computational techniques that are commonly used in statistics. By the course’s end, you will better understand statistical methods such as organizing, analyzing and interpreting statistical data. You will become familiar with different methodologies for collecting and organizing data, interpreting graphs, and quantitive reasoning.

Topics include frequency distributions, graphs of data, measures of center, measures of variation, measures of relative standing, basic probability distributions, normal distributions, Central Limit Theorem, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing (single and two proportions, single means, two means), correlation, and linear regression, and ANOVA.
