Abstract
Statistical reasoning is an essential tool for making evidence based decisions in all areas of life. Statistics allows one to decide if an educational testing method is biased, if one drug is more effective than another, if the expression of characteristic is solely determined by genetic factors, and so on and so on. The list is endless. With the programs to “crunch” huge data sets available on every computer the power of statistical is available to everyone. This course will teach you how to wield that power wisely, and introduce you to the probabilistic laws that are the source of that power.
