This course focuses on how to learn from data, specifically to 1) organize, portray, and summarize data; 2) assess the validity of conclusions that have been drawn from statistical analyses to support business (and other) decisions; and 3) recognize the extent to which variation characterizes products and processes, and understand the implications of variation on organizational decisions when interpreting data. Students will increase their understanding of the use of probabilities to reflect uncertainty; how to interpret data in light of uncertainty to assess risk; and how to build and interpret regression models, which can be used to inform core business and organizational decisions.
