Course overview
A key foundational step for business analytics is understanding the ways in which data can be presented and analysed. Introductory Data Analysis provides a solid basis from which data analysis techniques can be applied to solve business problems and support evidence-based decision-making, with a specific focus on the use of Microsoft Excel. This course will cover methods such as charts, descriptive statistics, probability distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and basic regression models. These methods will be the foundations for more advanced courses using statistical and econometric methods.
