OM 211 - Honors Statistical Analysis for Management

Credits: 4 (NR)
Introduces the application of statistical methods to support quantitative decision analysis for resolving business problems. Topical coverage includes descriptive statistics, probability, random variables, probability distributions, sampling and sampling distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, and linear regression (both simple and multiple). Requires extensive use of case studies to integrate, synthesize and extend the concepts presented in order to foster a “learning by doing” approach that develops and promotes critical thinking abilities. Active class discussions via individual and/or group presentations of case assignments is an important learning activity. Extensive use of computer software for statistical modeling, problem solving, and analysis of case studies is a significant component of this course.
