Statistics

OBJECTIVES
The need to analyze data is common to all disciplines. Statistics courses are offered in order to:

- Provide an introduction to statistical procedures as part of the critical analysis of information, and

- Provide the background necessary for the application of statistical methods to various disciplines.
