Business Statistics
|
This online statistics course familiarizes students with the basic concepts of business statistics and provides a comprehensive overview of its scope and limitations. Students become familiar with statistical analysis of samples, compute the measures of location and dispersion, and interpret them for descriptive statistics. Similar to other online college statistics courses, lessons demonstrate linear regression, multiple regression, correlation analysis, model building, model diagnosis, and time series regression using various models. The course also describes basic concepts of probability and applies the discrete and continuous distributions of probability. Other topics in this online statistics course include constructing a hypothesis on one and two samples, performing one-way and two-way analysis of variance, applying nonparametric methods of statistical analysis, and making decisions under risk or uncertainty. If you’ve been considering an online college statistics course, this is the one.
