This is a basic course in statistics with the goal of laying the foundations for students to develop abilities to:
- read professional public health and urban studies literature with an appreciation for both its substantive contribution and use of statistical tools; and
- apply basic statistical techniques in the course of higher studies or professional work.
Students will be introduced to the basic concepts of collecting, organizing and describing data. In addition, students will learn the fundamental concepts of probability and sampling theory that provide the tools for inferring population characteristics based on small amounts of data (samples). Specific topics include descriptive and inferential statistics, sampling methods, probability, estimation, hypothesis testing, correlation and linear regression, and chi square.
