Statistical Reasoning introduces students to the basic concepts and logic of statistical reasoning and gives the students introductory-level practical ability to choose, generate, and properly interpret appropriate descriptive and inferential methods. In addition, the course helps students gain an appreciation for the diverse applications of statistics and its relevance to their lives and fields of study. The course does not assume any prior knowledge in statistics and its only prerequisite is basic algebra. We offer two versions of statistics, each with a different emphasis: Probability and Statistics and Statistical Reasoning. Each course includes all expository text, simulations, case studies, comprehension tests, interactive learning exercises, and the StatTutor labs. Each course contains all of the instructions for the four statistics packages options we support. To do the activities, you will need your own copy of Microsoft Excel, Minitab, the open source R software, TI calculator, or StatCrunch. One of the main differences between the courses is the path through probability; Statistical Reasoning places less emphasis on probability than does the Probability and Statistics course and takes an empirical approach.

We live in a time of unprecedented access to information. You'll learn how to use statistics to interpret that information and make decisions. San Jose State University

Introduction to statistics. Will eventually cover all of the major topics in a first-year statistics course.

Whether you'd like a refresher on the differences between descriptive and inferential statistics or are looking to hone your ability to analyze residuals, this course's video lessons have got you covered. Instructors discuss topics ranging from sample variance and box plots to conditional probabilities and z-scores. Areas of study addressed in this course include:

Statistics is the science that turns data into information and information into knowledge. This class covers applied statistical methodology from an analysis-of-data viewpoint. Topics covered include frequency distributions; measures of location; mean, median, mode; measures of dispersion; variance; graphic presentation; elementary probability; populations and samples; sampling distributions; one sample univariate inference problems, and two sample problems; categorical data; regression and correlation; and analysis of variance. Use of computers in data analysis is also explored. This course contains the Winter 2013 Statistics 250 Workbook and Interactive Lecture Notes. Fall 2011 Statistics 250 materials (syllabus, lectures, and workbooks) are also available for download.

This free online course is the first of our Upper-Secondary Mathematics suite of courses. It covers mathematical analysis, including univariate statistics and data, bivariate statistics, correlation, regression, residual analysis, non-linear data, and seasonal movements. This course is suitable for students of maths, especially those preparing for examinations. It is also suitable for those looking to refresh their knowledge of Mathematics. <br />

Yahoo is a very popular Web site but, with strong competition for products and services coming from others like Google and Facebook, Yahoo as an organisation faces severe challenges in being more competitive in the advertising market. In this free online course Sue Decker, the CEO of Yahoo from 2008 to 2009, discusses how the founders of Yahoo focused on the needs of its customers by developing a hierarchal database structure for faster and more efficient searches making life easier for the customer. The course also looks at how internal structuring of the sales force was implemented to improve customer service, where the gap in monetising search queries between it and Google occurred, and recent acquisition proposals. This course will be of interest to advertising, business, marketing professionals and entrepreneurs who have an interest in how an online Web company uses its customer base as a business model.<br />

This MOOC is designed for teachers who may be interested in creating their own STEAM CAMP based upon a proven model created by Jennifer Miller and Sandra Wozniak. Their STEAM CAMP incorporated NASA MMS Challenge curriculum, authored by Jennifer Miller, Sandra Wozniak, and Tom Chambers, along with other NASA MMS fabrication resources. To be successful in this course, participants should plan to spend approximately 3 hours per week completing activities and interacting with others. The primary audience for this course are those who wish to conduct their own STEAM Camp or after school STEAM program. This MOOC consists of five one-week modules full of NASA MMS student resources that can be used during STEAM related educational experiences. Join the conversation on Twitter, too! #STEAMMOOC

The STEM Readiness course provides a refresher of core skills related to STEM careers. The core skills covered are Mathematics from arithmetic to beginning algebra, Workplace Communications and Professionalism. The topics of the course are presented through workplace scenarios to show learners how these skills apply to their potential careers. In reviewing these core skills students will be better prepared to be successful in post-secondary STEM related technical programs and ultimately in STEM related careers.
