| Online Class: Statistics Review 1 | Statistics Review 1 lays the groundwork for further study by introducing descriptive statistics and then probability as a precursor to inferential statistics. We will begin by covering some definitions, the basics of data, and how it can be organized, either in tabular form or graphically. We will then discuss variables and the concepts of descriptive measurement and then finish off with a thorough review of basic probability and probability distributions. Probability is the foundation for understanding statistical inference, which is the main topic area of the next course, Statistics Review 2.
Enrolling in this course is a very cost-effective alternative to private tutoring, and will enable you to receive instruction in a totally self-paced, low-pressure environment. This course runs continuously - you may enroll at any time. After completing this course, you will hopefully gain a greater appreciation for the material. Due to the self-paced nature of the course, you should be able to focus on learning and understanding it, rather than feeling pressured to finish within a short time span or to just receive a passing grade.

Course Description This course, the first in a series of three, is intended as a review of basic concepts in probability and statistics. It is geared toward the student who has already taken an academic course in statistics and needs a refresher before going back to school, or for anyone who would like an introduction to the subject before taking a formal academic course. The only prerequisites for this course are a decent level of comfort with basic algebraic manipulation and coordinate geometry.

Due to the self-paced nature of the course, you should be able to focus on learning and understanding it, rather than feeling pressured to finish within a short time span or to just receive a passing grade. You will need to purchase two very inexpensive textbooks to enroll in this class, and they are widely available on the Internet. These books will also be used for Statistics Review 2 and Statistics Review 3, and I'm confident that you will enjoy them and keep them as handy references for a very long time. In addition, it will be very helpful if you have a scientific calculator.
