The focus of this unit is on applying mathematical and statistical methods in real-world contexts. You will look for meaningful patterns and model data to increasing levels of complexity. In particular, we will cover data and variables, visualisation, basic probability, hypothesis testing, and linear regression. You will also learn how to select and apply appropriate quantitative methods using software such as R, an open source statistical software. You will practice your quantitative skills using real data from scientists, business, and governments. This unit is appropriate for those requiring an introduction to, or a refresher in, statistics.
