The course offers a practical, hands-on approach to statistics and probability, emphasizing real-world data application using SPSS software.
This online asynchronous course provides high school students with a foundational understanding of statistical analysis and computing. Students will learn to collect, summarize, and interpret numerical data. The curriculum covers descriptive statistics, including measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and variability (interquartile range, standard deviation), as well as inferential statistics, such as point and interval estimation, hypothesis significance testing, and linear regression. To facilitate practical application, students will regularly use SPSS for in-class lab exercises and take-home assignments, working with real-world datasets. The course also includes an introduction to elementary probability theory to aid in data interpretation and understanding.
Students engage with lectures, in-class lab exercises, and take-home assignments at their own pace due to the asynchronous online format.
This program is ideal for high school students interested in gaining practical skills in statistical analysis and data interpretation for potential future studies in business or related fields.
