Introduction to statistics

Recalling their high school or college years, people usually cringe when they hear words like “stats” or “math.” Over ten days, you will realize how highly enjoyable and entertaining statistics can be! This course covers the most popular topics that are normally taught during introductory statistics classes. You’ll learn the basic concepts and ideas in statistics, such as data structure, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, Central Limit Theorem, degrees of freedom, t-test, chi-square test, simple linear regression, and much more. You will also be introduced to real-world examples in which such concepts are applied.
