Basic statistics

Description:

This introductory seminar (with examples in the context of scores on a test) is aimed at people with little or no knowledge of statistics. It looks at basic summary statistics, such as the mean, mode, median, range and standard deviation, and graphical ways of displaying data, such as frequency distributions, cumulative frequency curves, histograms and boxplots. It also looks at the properties of the normal distribution curve.

Fee: Free to University of Cambridge staff and students, £30 for other participants
