| This module is intended to provide general statistical literacy that will enable accurate presentation and interpretation of quantitative information. Common misinterpretations will be discussed with the use of examples taken from the media. Students will be taught how to use tabular and graphical data displays as well as statistical reporting that is accessible to a wide audience. The approach will be practical and emphasis will be placed on "learning by doing". Topics include: objectives of statistical analysis, types of statistical data, computation and interpretation of summary measures (percentages, rates, rations, averages, measures of variation, indices), interpretation and reporting of survey results, analysis of trends amongst others. Particular attention will be given to reporting in French language. |
