Course Objectives

The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the basic statistical tools used for managerial decision-making.

Learning Outcomes

After successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• Produce appropriate graphical and numerical descriptive statistics for different types of data.
• Use simple/multiple regression models to analyze the underlying relationships between the variables through hypothesis testing.
• Conduct and interpret a variety of hypothesis tests to aid decision making in a business context.
