Description

This course is designed for beginners interested in learning statistics. It introduces fundamental concepts and incorporates practical examples to present simple, useful methods for summarizing and comparing data sets. The course also prepares students for future intermediate-level statistics topics by building a strong foundation in basic statistical thinking and analysis.Throughout the course, students will not only learn formulas but also understand the logic behind them. Emphasis is placed on understanding why methods work, when to use them, and how to explain findings clearly to others.Topics include:What is statistics: Descriptive statistics and Inferential statisticsProbability vs. statisticsSampling methods: random sample, convenience sample, and voluntary samples…Comparing data sets by center and variabilityUnderstanding and calculating sample mean, sample variance, and sample standard deviationThe relationship and differences between population variance and sample varianceFive number summary of data, learn about your data.The course designer is a university instructor who has been teaching statistics courses for seven years, with extensive experience in helping students grasp complex concepts and apply statistical thinking in real-world scenarios. The course has been carefully structured using plain, accessible language. It includes plenty of practical examples, along with clear and concise explanations, which help the audience easily understand, retain, and apply the material confidently.
