And just like that, the last week of #EdSTATSx has finished. Congratulations to everyone who has made it this far. Don't worry if you've fallen behind though - the course is open for another three weeks! @EdinUniMaths

From global warming to modern day slavery, and from biodiversity to pharmaceuticals, statistics can help us to answer difficult research questions. One of the most powerful tools for this is the hypothesis test. Learn more in Week 7 of #EdSTATSx

How can we tell if crime rates in our area are rising? How can we judge how dangerous an operation is? To answer these questions, we need to estimate. This week in #EdSTATSx we'll look at making estimates, and how to quantify the uncertainty of estimates. @EdinUniMaths

We're over half way through and into Week 5 of #EdSTATSx! This week we're looking at how we can describe the probability of different things happening using probability distributions, a fundamental part of the field of statistics. @EdinUniMaths

[EdSTATSx @EdSTATSx]

Welcome to Week 4 of the course! This week we will look at probability: the subject which allows us to study chance and uncertainty.

Welcome to Week 2! So far, we've looked at key methods of visualising and summarising data. This week on the course, we will be exploring exactly what the patterns in graphs and charts can, and can’t, tell us. It's not too late to enrol: https://t.co/XhdpqzK72I
