Unit Description

Statistical analysis and application form a core part of many organisations’ decision-making in real-world contexts.

In this unit you will look for meaningful patterns within collected data, and produce visualised modelling to various degrees of complexity. In particular, you will explore data and variables, visualisation, basic probability, hypothesis testing, and linear regression.

You will also learn how to select and apply appropriate quantitative methods using software such as R, an open source statistical software. You will practise your quantitative skills using real data from scientists, business, and governments.
