Course Objective

The goal of this course is to introduce students the basis of descriptive statistics, elementary probability theory (random variables, discrete and continuous probability models), statistical inference (point estimation, interval estimation, and tests of hypotheese), and other statistical methods (linear regression and correlation, ANOVA and so on). After completing this course, students will be able to determine which statistic and /or method is appropriate for a given situation and to make statistical inferences about a population by using the sample from that population.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To comprehend the properties of probability
2   To learn how to analyze statistical data properly.
3   To understand the implications of study design on the type of statistical inference
4   To identify a statistical technique appropriate to address a given research question
5   To apply the appropriate statistic and/or method to real world business problems
6   To communicate clearly and correctly the results of the statistical analysis
