Statistics Fundamentals

Overview

Fundamentals of Statistics Course Overview

Our Fundamentals of Statistics course introduces a systematic review of the foundational concepts needed to run a statistical test and interpret the results. We will provide an overview of the statistical landscape, exploring descriptive statistics and various approaches to inferential statistics. You’ll learn all about the different approaches to various statistics problems as well as why we need different approaches and how data scientists go about selecting the best approach. In this course, you’ll also get a chance to run hypothesis tests on real and simulated data sets using Excel’s Data Analysis ToolPak. We’ll also examine key fundamental concepts like the Central Limit Theorem, Empirical Rule, and Law of Large Numbers, and you’ll apply what you learn through exercises. The topics covered in this course will support you in conducting good analysis, applying data to business decisions, and exploring the more advanced topics within the Business Intelligence and Data Analysis program, such as machine algorithms.

kehinde olajide

This was an amazing experience.

It was intense however so rewarding - i had to learn how to manage my time properly and try to have the courses completed. Where i would fail especially with the course assessments, i would take a step back, go back to the course videos just in case i missed something. I also had a notebook where i could write down key points during the lecture and go through them whenever i had the opportunity. Thank you ALX for this amazing opportunity.

It only took a few days. Now I'm hooked!

When I first came across the CFI and the courses it offers, I didn't make much of it. However, after just a few days of trying out some of the free courses I can't seem to get enough of their material. This is awesome, thank you CFI team.

Peter Lugalia

This course provided me a clear understanding on how Statistics is reviewed and manipulated and as well , how important we can use Stats on a dalily basis.

I've been trying to pass that exam over a year , and after reviewing the lessons and made some manipulations in real life i was finally able to succeed. It was one of the great feeling i ever had.
