In this course it will teach the basics of statistical inference in order to understand and compute p-values and confidence intervals, all while analyzing data with R. We will use visualization techniques to explore new data sets and determine the most appropriate approach. We will also describe robust statistical techniques as alternatives when data do not fit assumptions required by the standard approaches.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
