Prerequisites/Notes: STAT 107 or STAT 255 Catalog Description : In this course, students learn to evaluate ideas with carefully analyzed data.

Where do we observe discrimination?) and use empirical tools to evaluate sports questions (Is conventional wisdom optimal? How do we evaluate players?). Students will complete quizzes, assignments, and final projects using statistical software.
