The unit deals with basic statistical concepts and methods used to explore and properly present information (summarisation of data); assess uncertainty in business decisions (probability, random variables and sampling distributions); perform inferential analysis (estimation and hypothesis testing); evaluate relationships between business and economic variables and obtain reliable forecasts (correlation and simple regression). This unit provides a foundation for further study in many areas including business analytics and econometrics. Computer analysis using Excel is a basic part of the unit. |
