SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Credit Points: 15
 
Description:

This unit aims to provide graduates in business administration, accounting and finance with an introductory survey of the many business applications of descriptive and inferential statistics.  While the course focuses on business applications, it does not require previous business experience.

 

Our personal and professional lives are filled with encounters with random, unpredictable events.  Yet we are still forced to make decisions in these situations.  Statistics is the tool for analysing and thinking about this type of unpredictability.  It  helps managers make better and more effective decisions.
