  • Course Description
    Does income inequality lead to political polarization? Is social class related to parenting? What accounts for income inequality between ethnic groups in the labor market? We will use statistics and programming to answer these questions throughout the semester. This course introduces tools to summarize the characteristics of data and offers methods to draw conclusions about population from samples. Applying statistics, analyzing data, and interpreting results are the focuses of our class. Although very basic calculation skills are required (e.g., +, -, ×, ÷, √), you do not need further mathematical knowledge to succeed in this class.
  • Course Objective
    After taking this course, you are expected to be able to: 1. Explain key statistical concepts in your own words. 2. Analyze real-life data using R programming. 3. Interpret results of statistical tests covered in class. 4. Apply statistical methods and computer skills to address daily and social issues. 5. Evaluate statistics and statistical methods used in news, reports, and even academic research.
