This course introduces the student to statistics with business applications. The course covers both descriptive and inferential statistics. The purpose of this course is to introduce the basic statistical methods used in Business, IT applications and other related multidisciplinary areas. Students will learn how to select and apply appropriate statistical methods to analyze data from clinical trials, and how to present, interpret and discuss the analyses clearly and concisely. Topics included are measures of central tendency; measures of dispersion; graphical displays of data; linear regression; basic probability concepts; binomial and normal probability distributions; confidence intervals; and hypothesis testing of mean, proportion for one or two populations. The course also covers ANOVA and hypothesis tests for Goodness of Fit. By the end of this module, students should be able to apply the concepts of statistics to a business situation, the concepts of discrete and normal probability distributions, to formulate testing of hypotheses in constructing and interpreting confidence intervals, to analyze data sets using linear regression and correlation and to interpret the results obtained from analyzing data using software.
