STAT 301
Business Statistics

This is the required introductory statistics class in the business school. The course aims to give students a broad exposure to statistical methods useful in "real world" situations, especially in business practice. We will examine four broad categories of statistical tools: (1) probability, examining the chance an event occurs, (2) descriptive statistics, which summarize available data; (3) inferential statistics, which generalize from a sample to a larger population; and (4) modeling procedures, such as regression analysis, which make predictions based upon the underlying structure of the data.

Daily Review Assignments

The purpose of daily review assignments is to provide timely review and feedback on the basic course concepts and computational mechanics covered each day in class. This structured regular review facilitates mastery of course material. Review assignments are due at the beginning of the following class. Unless the assignment specifically states otherwise, only hard copy (not electronic submission) is accepted. Review assignments are checked simply for reasonable effort, not accuracy.

Daily review assignments are available from the links below. (Many of the review assignment webpages have links to more detailed solutions, in case you run into difficulty while working on them.)
