Brief Introduction
An Excel Oriented CourseDescription
This is an introductory course in probability and statistics. This course helps to serve as a foundation for higher levels of a statistics course, particularly inferential statistics and research methods course.
This course provides 85 video lectures and it also teaches you how to estimate the probability and do statistical analysis using spreadsheets.
The course is structured into 10 sections:
What is Statistics- Meaning of Statistics in Singular & Plural Sense, Characteristics of Stat, Nature & Scope, Types -Descriptive & Inferential, Distrust and other limitations of Statistics.
