Summary

These slides are a compilation of all the slides from the course.

Sampling

The slides give an introduction to sampling and different types of biases and why in general sampling is kinda hard.

Graphs

The slides cover different types of graphs we see in statistics for different types of data. This file is kind of big, and these slides have way too many low quality screenshots. Here is a link to a cool interactive plot

Descriptive and Summary Statistics

The slides cover different descriptive statistics.

Probability: Random variables and rules

The slides are a primer on probability introducing the basic concepts and rules. These notes are an extension and more formally introduce random variables and distinguish between continuous and discrete random variables.

Conditional Probabilities and Bayes Rule

The slides cover Bayes rule and conditional probabilities.

The Binomial Distribution

The slides cover what the binomial distribution is, the Bernoulli distribution, and different examples of both.

The Normal Distribution

The slides cover the normal distribution and theoretical properties of it. Additionally, we look at how to standardize our data so we can use z-tables, or alternatively calculators or R-software.

Sampling Distributions

The slides cover sampling distributions of the sample mean and the sample proportion. We know are investigating our sample statistics as random variables and study their associated distributions. In this chapter, we look at the relationship between sample size and how well we can estimate a true population parameter value with a statistic. We also introduce the central limit theorem and try to frame its importance to the study of statistics. These notes are a little dull, but they're is a cute pup thrown in to keep things interesting.

Inference for one Mean

The slides cover confidence intervals, their interpretation, and what to do when σ is known or unknown. We introduce the student's t-distribution and explore some properties of it.
