Aim of the course is to provide an easy introduction to statistics and
statistical terminology through a series of practical applications.
Once
you've completed this four-week on-line interactive course you'll be
able to
summarize data, interpret reports and newspaper accounts that use
statistics
and probability, and review plans for surveys and experiments.
Who Should Take This Course: Anyone who encounters statistics in
their
work. This first course in statistics requires no prior training in
the
subject. The only mathematics you need is arithmetic. Software is
provided.
Organisation of the Course - The course takes place over the internet,
at
statistics.com. Course participants will be given access to a private
bulletin board, on which they will receive course materials. The board
will
also serve as a forum for discussion of ideas and problem solving.
Resampling Stats software is provided for the duration of the course
and you
'll be given step-by-step instructions in its use.
The course is scheduled to take place over four weeks. At the
beginning of
each week, participants receive the relevant material, in addition to
answers to exercises from the previous session. During the week,
participants are expected to go over the course materials and work
through
exercises. Discussion among participants is encouraged. The course
leader
will provide answers and comments on set weekdays.
