Course notes
161.122 takes an in-depth approach to statistics with a strong focus on computing. It allows entry into all 200-level statistics courses. Students without a strong computing or mathematical background should consider 161.111 Applied Statistics which covers key statistical concepts in an accessible way.
Expected prior learning
At least 16 credits in NCEA Level 3 Mathematics from these standards: 91573, 91574, 91575, 91576, 91577, 91578, 91579, 91587;
or
passed any 100-level mathematics course (prefix 160) except 160.104.
If you do not have this prior learning or equivalent you should enrol in this Massey University course instead:
160.105 Methods of Mathematics
If it is some time since you studied Mathematics at school, you can find out if you have the expected background by taking this maths quiz..
Learning outcomes
- 1Plan the collection of data for a specific purpose from appropriate data sources, and critique a given data collection scheme.
- 2Choose appropriate software techniques for summarising and visualising complex datasets, communicating the results in context.
- 3Analyse and interpret relationships between variables.
- 4Use a range of probability models and their characteristics to make predictions for random variables.
- 5Construct and interpret confidence intervals for a range of population parameters.
- 6Apply the theory of hypothesis testing to construct and critique inferential statements about population characteristics, as part of the scientific method.
Learning outcomes can change before the start of the semester you are studying the course in.
