Statistics (B.S.)

Statistics Introduction

Students gain a wide breadth of experience to ensure they succeed in their future careers. Under the guidance of expert faculty, they learn to:

• Use probability to assess the likelihood of events (e.g. probability of having a house fire, probability that BYU will beat Utah in football).
• Design and conduct experiments so the results are meaningful and valid (e.g. experiments to test the effectiveness and safety of a new drug).
• Analyze complex data using advanced statistical methods (e.g. predicting fraud using credit card account and transaction information)
• Create beautiful statistical reports that tell a compelling story, using data visualizations and statistical tests.
