Statistics: An Animated Journey is a turn-key online course package that uses videos with animation to help students develop a basic understanding of statistical concepts and methods that are used in other disciplines. Statistics is a process that involves understanding types of data, representing data, analyzing data and using data to make predictions and decisions. Topics include statistical graphs of data, measures of central tendency, measures of data variation, relative standing, probability, the binomial and normal distributions, the Central Limit Theorem, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, categorical analysis, regression, and correlation.
