Business Statistics and Analytics

4 credit hours

Scientific approaches to decision-making are pervasive across a wide breadth of industries and functional areas. It is increasingly expected that business leaders be knowledgeable about the opportunities for data-driven decision-making and the inherent challenges and tradeoffs, and also proficient with manipulating and analyzing data themselves. 

This is a core course in business statistics covering data analysis, sampling and estimation, hypothesis testing, and multiple regression. The primary goal of the course is for students both to learn basic statistical techniques and to acquire proficiency with the “art” of applying these techniques to practical managerial decision problems. A secondary goal is to increase students’ familiarity with the use of Microsoft Excel for data analysis. These skills will be expected of you in future core and elective courses.
