COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course offers a mechanism to understand data, descriptive statistics, statistical computer package; Probability: distributions, expectation, variance, covariance, portfolios, central limit theorem; statistical inference of univariate data; Statistical inference for bivariate data: inference for intrinsically linear simple regression models. This course will have a business focus.
