ET 2400 - Fundamentals of Statistics
This course is an introduction to statistics with goal to prepare students to apply statistics to analyze, evaluate, and quantify data and make decisions about processes and results that they encounter in technology related jobs. Topics include probability distributions, sampling distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, ANOVA, and simple linear regression. Course is open to students of all disciplines and does not require background in sciences and engineering for successful completion.
