Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. compute descriptive statistics and probabilities from data, using the application of correct statistical notation and language, as well as clearly explaining the reasoning they applied.
2. choose and apply an appropriate statistical analysis or modeling methods to solve problems arising in different research fields.
3. use statistical tools to solve problems from different fields.
4. critically read and interpret a wide range of information from a variety of disciplines including quantitative analysis.
5. produce a coherent, well supported argument that shows critical thinking, analysis and decision making.
