Quantitative Methods II is an introduction to the principles and methods of statistics with an emphasis on developing skills necessary for research in economics and business. The study of statistics can be divided into three broad areas: descriptive statistics, probability theory, and inference. Topics include measures of central tendency and dispersion, distributions, sampling, estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression analysis. The class will use statistical software to apply these techniques to relevant problems. Emphasis throughout the course is placed on understanding the use of statistics rather than on mathematical
derivation.
