Managing, Describing, and Analyzing Data
Course Modules

The course comprises five modules covering data measurement, graphical and numerical data description, probability and probability distributions, sampling error and estimation, and hypothesis testing.

Data and Measurement

Welcome to Managing, Describing and Analyzing Data. This module introduces data measurement, scales, and the process of measurement. You will also explore sampling concepts and learn to work in RStudio.

Describing Data Graphically and Numerically

The second module focuses on describing data graphically and numerically. You will learn to create various graphical representations, measures of central tendency and dispersion, and measures of relationship and shape.

Probability and Probability Distributions

Module 3 delves into probability and probability distributions, covering topics such as the binomial, Poisson, normal, and exponential distributions, and their applications in data analysis.

Sampling Distributions, Error and Estimation

Sampling distributions, error, and estimation are the focus of the fourth module. Topics include sampling error, central theorem, confidence intervals, and estimators, providing a foundation for statistical inference.

Two Sample Hypothesis Testing

The final module covers two sample hypothesis testing, exploring significance levels, types of errors, power calculations, and various tests for means, proportions, variances, and poisson counts.
