This course provides an analytical framework to help you evaluate key problems in a structured fashion and will equip you with tools to better manage the uncertainties that pervade and complicate business processes. To this end, the course aims to cover statistical ideas that apply to managers by discussing two basic themes: first, is recognizing and describing variations present in everything around us, and then modeling and making decisions in the presence of these variations. The fundamental concepts studied in this course will reappear in many other classes and business settings. Our focus will be on interpreting the meaning of the results in a business and managerial setting.

TOP REVIEWS FROM INFERENTIAL AND PREDICTIVE STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS
I find the use of Excel after the lecture to be more useful in the real life.
The professor has a slower speaking speed so you may need to use 2x the speed.
The content is super useful.
I started to enjoy the course once I started investing the correct amount of time and effort into on a daily basis.
Very good introductory Statistics course. The topic selection is very pertinent to meet the need of a manager to analyze data and to make decision. Quality of teaching is GREAT.
Enjoyed this course very much. The content was explained very well, and I feel empowered to take what I've learned immediately to my company and draw meaning insights.
