This module firstly introduces students to data summarisation and presentation, including numerical measures of location and spread for both ungrouped and grouped data, and graphical methods including histograms, stem-and-leaf and box plots.

Thirdly, it looks at concepts in hypothesis testing including Type I and Type II errors and tests for a single population mean and differences between two population means. Fourthly, students will learn how to perform power and sample size calculations and estimate confidence intervals. Fifthly, this module focuses on methods for analysing complex parametric data, basic correlation metrics and linear regression analysis. Sixthly, students will learn about non-parametric tests and then examine elementary aspects of Bayes' theorem, conditionality and odds ratios. The module will conduct work through a simple freely available graphical interface called
