Inferential statistics are concerned with making inferences based on relations found in the sample, to relations in the population. Inferential statistics help us decide, for example, whether the differences between groups that we see in our data are strong enough to provide support for our hypothesis that group differences exist in general, in the entire population.

TOP REVIEWS FROM INFERENTIAL STATISTICS
Excellent course and it was a good revision of what i have learnt long back. The assessment is also done very well
A good introduction with very good videos and exercises. I'm only not giving 5 stars due to the relative lack of clarity in the final week and the lack of feedback on the final exam.
Not giving 5 stars only because it was fast paced. With a low grasping power i had to watch the video again and again. Otherwise the content in the video is to the point.
A very fast course! Really gave me a hard time. Very good content and good organization. A lot of calculations on the final.
