Description
This course is an extension of STAT-1501 (3). Topics include: a review of statistical inference for one population; statistical inference for two populations; analysis of variance for completely randomized and randomized block designs, including contrasts and multiple comparisons; analysis of qualitative data based on the chi-square distribution, including goodness-of-fit tests; relative risk and odds ratios; regression and correlation analyses; and nonparametric procedures. Applications are drawn from biology, chemistry and other sciences.
