Introduction
This course is an introduction to statistical thinking. Firstly, the student will learn to produce and to interpret descriptive statistics. Secondly, the student will learn the logic of statistical inference and how to construct confidence intervals and perform hypothesis tests. The emphasis is on understanding concepts and interpretation of results, more than on mathematical machinery. Through real-world data example students will understand the usefulness of statistics in business and marketing.
Please note!
Due to the Corona situation, BI Norwegian Business School has decided that the exam in this course will be changed in the spring of 2020. The course this spring will be evaluated with a home exam which counts 100%. This will be assessed as pass / fail. No one will get a letter grade.
All students who have registered for the exam in this course in spring 2020 will be registered for this new course and exam code. This also applies to re-sit students.
Re-sit students who prefer to re-sit for the original exam codes, will be able to do so in the fall of 2020, provided the Corona situation is under control. The spring exam will not count as an exam attempt, and will also be free of charge for students. No continuation exam will be offered for this spring's home exam.
