Description

Objective:

In this course, you will learn to represent and categorize data. You will learn about distributions of data, as well as the relationships between different sets of data. You will learn how to use data to calculate probabilities and make predictions. Then you will apply that knowledge to increase your understanding of statistics. Like exercise, the best way to get better at statistics is through repetition. And you will have lots of chances to do that in this course through real-world practice exercises.

Learning Outcomes:

Summarize and describe data.
Examine the relationships between data.
Explore data sampling methods.
Determine the probability of events happening.
