Statistics is the science of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data to answer questions and draw conclusions about the world. Our statistics courses can help you improve your statistical literacy and use statistical programming languages, techniques, and software—such as Excel, R, or Python—to perform various types of data analysis, such as descriptive, inferential, predictive, and exploratory. You can also learn how to apply statistics to different fields and domains, such as business, marketing, health, education, or social sciences.
