Curriculum

Presenting Quantitative Data

In this course, you will learn foundational concepts in statistics and how to collect and interpret data while applying statistics and statistical thinking to business problems

Descriptive Statistics for Business

In this course, you will identify various numerical measures including percentiles, range, variance, and standard deviation

You will then see how to visualize and draw conclusions on quantitative or qualitative variables

Making Predictions Using Statistical Probability

In order to use data from a sample group to make judgments about an entire population, you will explore probability in order to move toward the area of inferential statistics in this course

You will identify the role of discrete variables, use them in determining probability, find the expected value, and define variance

Inferential Statistics

In this course, you will walk through the multiple methods of collecting samples and examining margin of error and confidence intervals, including how they are calculated

You will then explore another area of inferential statistics called hypothesis testing to start with a hypothesized value

Multivariable Comparisons

In this course, you will examine how to compare two population means. Just as there is a need to look at two populations, the same is true for larger groups

Statistical Forecasting

In this course, you will explore the use of time series analysis and the four components of time series data

You will continue exploring forecasting by examining stationary time series and the situations in which they most often occur and practice forecasting techniques and stationary time series analysis

Practical Applications of Statistics

In this course you will explore quality control and how statistical methods are utilized within quality control

You will practice preparation and analysis of charts and determine some additional quality control methods
