Areas such as “big data” require very clear knowledge of statistics and business, and technology provides us with various applications that require solid training in statistics for proper use and interpretation.
This course allows you to develop the skills of a decision-maker leader based on the following competencies:
- analysis of statistical elements of information
- concepts and statistical foundations for the application of the area of data science
Through descriptive statistics, the study and analysis of discrete and continuous probability distributions, as well as the estimation by intervals for the mean and the proportion, it is how you will be able to develop both skills.
Through this course, participants will be able to:
● Apply basic statistical methods to the business environment
● Use technological tools to develop quantitative skills
● Interpret the results of statistical methods applied to businesses
