MA-UY 2414 Basic Practice of Statistics

4 Credits
We are inundated by data, but data alone does not translate into useful information. Statistics provide the means for organizing, summarizing, and therefore better analyzing data so that we can understand what data tells us about critical questions. If one collects data then understanding how to use statistical methods is critical, but it is also necessary to understand and interpret all the information we consume on a daily basis. This course provides these basic statistical approaches and techniques. This course may not be acceptable as a substitute for any other Probability or Statistics course. See your advisor.
