Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The purpose of this course is to equip students with an understanding of descriptive statistics and analytical thinking. Discussions will range from key concepts to useful data resources. Among topics covered are: Data collection, summarizing and presenting techniques, probability theory, discrete and continuous random variables, discrete probability distribution, continuous probability distribution, sampling distributions, inferential statistics, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing and simple correlation.
Course Content: • Population, sample, decision-making in statistics, uncertainty
• Understand the concept of uncertainty and Probability Theory
• Understand the concept of discrete random variables and discrete probability distributions
• Sampling Distributions
• Building confidence intervals
• Understand the concept of Hypothesis testing
• Calculate sample covariance and correlation coefficients and interpret their meanings
