Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. perform basic statistical analysis of a given data set, including summary statistics and plots, point estimation, confidence interval computation, and hypothesis testing.
2. perform basic probability analyses using conditional probabilities, Bayes theorem, and Central Limit Theorem in a variety of practical situations.
3. construct and estimate models using correlation and linear regression techniques.
4. perform statistical analyses using a professional software package and prepare illustrated technical reports.
