Basic statistical concepts and techniques such as descriptive statistics, probability concepts, theoretical distributions, inferential statistics (confidence intervals and hypothesis testing) are applied in business and economics.

ECON1310 is an introductory course in quantitative analysis for business and economics. The course covers a variety of techniques applicable to the presentation, interpretation and use of data. The main emphasis is inferential statistics with estimation and hypothesis testing techniques being an important part of the course. Inferential statistics is continued in the simple linear regression topic.

This course is widely regarded as challengingﾠby many students. One reason is that the work is very cumulative. This means that it is exceptionally difficult to catch up if a student gets behind in the work. Success in the subject depends on keeping up-to-date.

As well as covering concepts that are an essential part of the analytical tool box for well-trained professionals, ECON1310 provides a foundation that is critical for success in later statistical courses, particularly ECON2300 Introductory Econometrics.

Use fundamental statistics terminology.
Apply theoretical concepts to construct analytical statistical techniques.
Describe the statistical techniques needed to solve particular problem types.
Conduct statistical analysis of data so as to draw statistical conclusions.
Communicate statistical findings for practical and professional use.
