About This Course
ACE Approved 2024
During our Introduction to Statistics online course, study the properties behind the basic concepts of probability and statistics while also focusing on applications of statistical knowledge.
What You'll Learn
Understand fundamental statistical terms and concepts, explain different sampling methods, and distinguish between various types of study designs.
Construct various charts and graphs to display numerical and categorical data effectively, and calculate and interpret measures of center and spread within the context of diverse datasets.
Understand basic concepts, types, and rules of probability theory, analyze multi-event scenarios to assess outcome likelihood, and calculate conditional probabilities using appropriate formulas and rules.
Compute probabilities for both discrete and continuous random variables, and demonstrate proficiency in identifying and calculating probabilities using the normal distribution.
Understand the role of sampling distribution and construct and interpret confidence intervals in estimating population parameters.
Formulate hypotheses and conduct hypothesis tests for one-sample and two-sample scenarios.
Perform Chi-Square tests, compute correlation coefficients, and apply linear regression for predictive modeling, drawing meaningful conclusions from the results.
Apply analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare means across multiple groups
Analyze real-world data through case studies and practice sets to develop practical skills in statistical reasoning and problem-solving.
