You can build skills in interpreting frequency distributions, creating visual data representations, and performing hypothesis testing. Many courses introduce tools like Excel, R, or Python for data analysis, allowing you to apply these skills in practical scenarios, such as analyzing survey results or evaluating experimental data.
