These include statistical tools (hypothesis testing, correlation and covariance analysis, probability distributions, simple and multiple regression, and forecasting) along with statistical decision making, simulation, constrained optimization, and sensitivity analysis. Emphasis will be placed on a student’s ability to understand and interpret the results of their analyses.
