Statistics XPD019
Introduction
This unit aims for students to demonstrate an understanding of sampling, summary statistics and data displays, and to identify and analyse continuous bi-variate data, to use algebraic methods to solve systems of linear equations and to apply methods, concepts and theories to calculate confidence intervals for population parameters.
