Students will learn to explore, manipulate, visualize, and analyze data in order to investigate patterns and understand real-world phenomena.

Topics include descriptive statistics, elementary probability, common discrete and continuous probability distributions, correlation and simple linear regression and an introduction to confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. The course will have a strong focus on using the statistical software, R, to wrangle and analyze data (no prior statistical or computing background experience is necessary).
