Statistics and data analysis involve collecting, analysing, interpreting and presenting data to stakeholders to enhance their decision-making.
Statistics is all about making sense of numbers and finding patterns in the data - in business, health, sports, science, the arts, and more.
Statistics can be divided into two main branches, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
Descriptive Statistics summarise and describe the features of a data set.
Inferential Statistics allow us to make predictions or inferences about a population based on a sample of data that we have access to.
In this course, you will be equipped with the tools and techniques to transform your data into meaningful output to drive insights for your work and your organisation.
We will explore both Descriptive Statistics as well as Inferential Statistics.
In this module, we will cover the Introduction to Statistics. What is Statistics? What are the different types of Statistics? How do we summarise large volumes of data to make it more meaningful to generate insights for our organisation? Welcome to the Introduction to Statistics!

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
