Sneak Peek

 

Introduction or refresher course covering the essentials of Statistics

 

If you need to learn or even just refresh your knowledge of statistics, this course is likely to be as simple a solution as you will find.  Statistics can be a rather dry subject for many, and yet it is something that has application in virtually every discipline.

Statistics informs us of trends, likely outcomes and possibilities that result from decisions taken and actions implemented. Without statistics, business decisions would be poorer, scientific discoveries would be fewer and resources would be managed less effectively both on macro and micro scales.
