Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Critically read, interpret, report, and communicate the results of a statistical study along with evaluating assumptions, potential for bias, scope, and limitations of statistical inference. Produce and interpret summaries of numerical and categorical data as well as appropriate graphical and/or tabular representations. Use the distribution of sample statistics to quantify uncertainty and apply the basic concepts of probability into statistical arguments. Identify, conduct, and interpret appropriate parametric hypothesis tests. Assess relationships in quantitative bivariate data.
