At the root of this analysis lies the basic principles of statistics. Interpreting data for business – no matter what sector it is – is imperative to making informed decisions.

Students will learn to gather multiple answers to questions posed every day in business using statistical distributions, probabilities, confidence intervals and more! Once able to build applicable statistical models and interpret the data pulled together, these skills will serve students in their careers for years to come.
