• “Let’s make sure to standardize the data and check its characteristics.”

• “Could we figure out the confidence interval for this data?”

• “Let’s check if the results of this survey can be considered statistically significant.”

In the business world, there are many situations where statistical literacy becomes essential.

With the widespread adoption of AI/machine learning and a strong need for DX/digitalization, these situations are expected to increase.

This course is aimed at ensuring we’re well-equipped with statistical literacy and probabilistic thinking to navigate such scenarios.

We’ll carefully explore the basics of statistics, including “probability distributions, estimation, and hypothesis testing.”

By understanding “probability distributions,” we’ll develop a statistical perspective and probabilistic thinking.

Learning about “estimation” will enable us to discuss populations from data (samples), and grasping “testing” will help us develop statistical hypothesis thinking.

This course is tailored for beginners in statistics and will explain concepts using a wealth of diagrams and words, keeping mathematical formulas and symbols to the minimum necessary for understanding.

It’s structured to ensure that even beginners can learn confidently.

Let’s seize this opportunity to acquire lifelong knowledge of statistics together!

(Note: Please be aware that this course does not cover the use of tools or software like Excel, R, or Python.)
