- International Fees
International fees are typically three times the amount of domestic fees. Exact cost will be calculated upon completion of registration.
Course details
This is an introductory‐level course in statistics. Topics include descriptive statistics (including measures of central tendency and variation, and appropriate graphical displays of data); probability laws and distributions; inferences from one or two samples (hypothesis testing and confidence intervals); estimation of sample size; linear correlation and regression. Additional topics may include chi‐squared tests for independence and homogeneity. These methods will be applied to examples from the natural resource field, including student research projects as applicable.
