Course Description	The aim of this course is to provide students with statistical tools that can be utilized for handling business problems. Elaborating on the statistical concepts and methods studied in BUS 273, the course focuses on hypothesis testing in general, testing problems for one and two populations, contingency tables and testing for independence, correlation, simple and multiple regression, and analysis of variance. Students will also learn to prepare and analyze data using appropriate software during class hours at computer labs.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit	Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to; Estimate a distribution and explain the outcome of the estimation. Test a statistical hypothesis, using a significance test based on the normal distribution. Measure the degree of dependence between variables, using chi-square, the odds ratio, and correlation. Regress one variable on others. Test for equality of several population means.
