UQx: Statistics for Business Analytics: Samples and Populations

This is a great course for anyone who wants to gain foundational and critical analysis and statistics skills with no prior background.

In this course, we examine the statistical processes of understanding larger populations from smaller samples. We want to be able to answer questions like:

  • How large a sample is needed to make a reasonable inference about my customer base?
  • What are the upper and lower limits for the percentage of people who wear medium-sized t-shirts in a population?
  • Is the income level of native citizens significantly different to that of people born overseas?

Statistics for Business Analytics: Samples and Populations

Sobre este curso

Omitir Sobre este curso

To address questions like these, the course is divided into three topics:

  • In Topic 1, we examine the characteristics of point estimates – measurements that we take from samples to make inferences about a population.
  • Topic 2 deals with confidence intervals , which help us to establish upper and lower limits about where we think the “true” population characteristic lies, at a certain level of confidence.
  • In Topic 3, which is the largest and most important part of this course, we explore hypothesis testing. This includes one-, two- and many-sample forms of testing.
