BUS 280 Business Statistics

This course addresses the collection, analysis and use of business data in a technologically advanced setting. Technology presents new opportunities to managers, but without skills in using technology, they will be presented with more data than they can interpret, with more analysis than they can assimilate, and more alternatives than they can evaluate. This course will have a focus on problem formulation, recognition of data requirements, and interpretation of results while using software to complete the appropriate analysis. The objectives of this course are (1) to help the student become proficient in basic statistical reasoning, and (2) to provide the student with fundamentals required for more advanced management courses.
