The time has finally come to work on your assignment. So what's the next step for students with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools easily at hand? James Roy takes a look.
Evidence comes in the form of qualitative or quantitative data about the world around you. It is not always obvious, however, how to structure, aggregate, analyse or interpret the data to help you make decisions. In this free course, you will look at how to use data to make decisions in a systematic way using Microsoft Excel.
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet software that you will most likely encounter numerous times either in a professional context or outside the workplace. In this course you will explore its functions, which will enable you to analyse data and explore relationships between variables. You will learn to summarise, describe and visualise both univariate and bivariate data in tabular and graphical form.
Making decisions about the world based on data requires a process that bridges the gap between unstructured data and the decision. Statistical hypothesis testing helps decision-making by formulating beliefs about the world, including people, organisations or other objects, and formally testing these beliefs.
In this free course, you will study the principles of hypothesis testing, including the specification of significance levels, as well as one-sided and two-sided tests. Finally, you will learn how to perform a hypothesis test of the mean of a variable, as well as the proportion of individuals in a dataset with a certain characteristic.
You will use spreadsheets throughout the course as the central tool used by professionals for simple data management and analysis.
