Statistics, Hypothesis Testing, & Regression

This 4-day course teaches the fundamental concepts and methods needed to organize and analyze data and to make objective decisions based on the data. Participants will also learn to compare groups in order to determine whether they are statistically similar or not. Furthermore, the course instructs in the development of mathematical models to predict outcomes and understand key factors affecting processes. Knowledge of basic algebra is helpful. Minitab statistical software is utilized, but the understanding of underlying concepts and methods is stressed.
