Applied Statistical Methods
Learn fundamental concepts and methods needed
to organize and analyze data to make objective decisions.
The course instructs in the development of mathematical models
to predict outcomes and understand key factors affecting processes.
Knowledge of basic algebra is helpful. Note: computers will
be used in class to apply learned techniques. Please bring
a laptop if possible.
