Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the concepts of probability, statistical inference, and regression and correlation

make appropriate decisions based on the task requirements, by selecting and applying appropriate statistical procedures and interpreting the results obtained

communicate statistical ideas, processes and results effectively at different levels of formality

use an appropriate spreadsheet or statistical software in statistical analysis

interpret statistical output.
