Course Description
The goal of this course is to introduce students to various ways to display and analyze data. There are four main themes in the course: exploratory analysis, planning a study/experiment, probability, and inferential statistics. Students will be introduced to different ways to collect data and set up parameters in order to conduct a meaningful experiment. They will be exposed to many different kinds of data (data used in scientific experiments, marketing schemes, population changes, psychological experiments, etc.) They will find out where patterns lie in each set of data and how to communicate those patterns to others. Lastly, they will test hypotheses from real and simulated experiments and discuss percent certainty that each hypothesis is true or false.
