35151 Introduction to Statistics

6cp; 5hpw

Statistics is the science of collecting, organising and interpreting data. These data may come from designed experiments, may be collected in a questionnaire or may be the result of market activity but many of the statistical techniques are independent of the source of the data and some of them are introduced in this subject. After a general introduction, some of the common distributions and their usefulness in data summary are presented. Formal tests about the mean and variance are developed and then a number of standard techniques from regression, designed experiments and quality control are introduced.
