This unit builds on the fundamentals of statistics and data analysis introduced in STA107 Business Statistics and focuses on using information in decision making. Managers must be able to use quantitative techniques to analyse business problems as all areas of business operations increasingly deal increasing amounts of data. In this unit you will learn how to interpret data involving uncertainty and variability; how to detect and analyse the relationships within business data; how to make correct inferences from the data; and how to effectively communicate the interpretations arising from data analysis. You will be instructed in the use of software tools (primarily spreadsheets) to analyse and present quantitative data.
