Panos Gr completed this course, spending 4 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be medium.
This class is perfect for the Statics beginner. It gives a thorough and easy to understand explanation about the key concepts in Statistics with examples and reinforcing exercises.
I was struggling at separating the mean (μ) for the sample mean (x-bar) and didn't have the slightest idea of what "standard deviation" was until I took this class. I'm very grateful for it and although it doesn't cover fully the topics of an intro to Stats class, it explains core concepts perfectly! -

This course starts out simple and steadily accelerates in difficulty. I realized towards the end that the beginning of the course helped me build a strong foundation in understanding and analyzing distributions, which are key to all the statistical tests you learn later (e.g., z-tests, t-tests, chi-squared tests). -
