M215:InferenceandMakingConclusions
What is the true mean height of all students at your school? Has the mean carbon dioxide level of the atmosphere increased significantly over the last five years? In M215 Inference and Making Conclusions, you'll master the logic of statistical inference — learning how to draw reliable conclusions from data and make decisions even in the face of uncertainty.
In M215 Inference and Making Conclusions, you will:
• Learn inference procedures and apply them to make decisions, weighing the risks associated with different types of error
• Calculate and interpret P-values and confidence intervals using technology, and evaluate what they mean in context
• Use bootstrapping to improve the accuracy of inference procedures, and make decisions based on study design and the strength of evidence
Examples of careers that use M215 concepts: psychology, biology, advertising, and manufacturing.
