This course covers the learning outcomes and goals of understanding descriptive statistics, including measures like mean, median, mode, quartiles, percentiles, and range. Students will also learn about variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, standard error, covariance, and correlation. The course teaches the skills of calculating these statistical measures and interpreting their implications. The teaching method involves video lectures explaining each concept with examples. This course is intended for learners interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of descriptive statistics and its applications.
