Descriptive and inferential statistics through hypothesis testing. This course differs from ResEcon 212 in that students use additional statistical tools to understand the properties of estimators and the theory behind confidence interval estimation and hypothesis testing. Students also focus on a deeper understanding of statistical methods. Students will apply statistical tools and concepts to real world experimental or survey data. The goal is to help students develop their ability to apply appropriate tools to analyze data and interpret their results in order to create reports that address important research questions.
This course is open to Commonwealth Honors College students only.
