Statistics Introduction
Students develop broad, practical expertise that prepares them for successful careers. Guided by experienced faculty, they learn to:
- Apply probability to evaluate real-world risk and uncertainty — from the likelihood of a house fire to the chance of a stock market downturn.
- Design and conduct rigorous experiments that produce reliable, reproducible results — such as testing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs.
- Harness advanced statistical methods to make sense of complex data — including detecting fraud from credit card transactions and account behavior.
- Craft compelling statistical reports that bring data to life through clear visualizations and well-chosen statistical tests.
