This is an introductory module in statistics and it assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. The module introduces the basics of descriptive statistics (including graphical methods), linear regression models and inferential statistics (including hypothesis testing). You will explore descriptive statistics, data types, measures of central tendency, measures of location, measures of dispersion, graphical methods, histograms, pie charts, stem and leaf plots, and box plots. You will also examine ordinary least squares regression and correlation, inference, estimation, hypothesis testing, and statistical software such as R and SPSS. Upon completion of this module, you will be able to solve problems concerning descriptive and inferential statistics, summarise data using suitable graphs and descriptive statistics, analyse the performance of statistical hypothesis tests, import data using an appropriate software tool and perform statistical analyses of the data.
