Learning Outcomes

  • compute descriptive statistics and probabilities from data, using the application of correct statistical notation and language, as well as clearly explaining the reasoning they applied.
  • choose and apply an appropriate statistical analysis or modeling methods to solve problems arising in different research fields.
  • use statistical tools to solve problems from different fields.
  • critically read and interpret a wide range of information from a variety of disciplines including quantitative analysis.
  • produce a coherent, well supported argument that shows critical thinking, analysis and decision making.
