A well-informed citizen is a critical and
creative consumer of quantitative information
presented numerically, in words, and visually. In
this course, we will examine practical
applications in research design, descriptive
statistics, probability, and inferential
statistics. We will explore issues arising in
data science and consider ethical issues in
research and use of data. Examples throughout the
course will be drawn from a variety of fields of
study and a diversity of source materials.
