This is an efficient and effective one-day refresher on the fundamental tools in statistics. This course covers the two main divisions of statistics: descriptive and inferential.
First, the course covers descriptive statistics: the different types of variables, variability, distributions and the characterization of distributions through well-known statistics such as the mean and standard deviation as well as other less known statistics such as quartiles.
Second, the course covers inferential statistics, also known as statistical testing. Ideas covered in this part of the course include hypothesis testing, one-sided versus two-sided tests, p-values, risks, significance levels, and confidence intervals.
