CompTIA Data+: Inferential Statistical Methods

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Unlike descriptive statistics, which describe characteristics of datasets, inferential statistics are used to make inferences or predictions about data. Information not readily evident by analyzing datasets can be gleaned by talented data analysts in order to form conclusions, and while it may sound like educated guessing, descriptive statistics are far more sophisticated than simply guessing. In this course, you will explore inferential statistical methods, identifying the purpose of inferential statistics and comparing them to descriptive statistics. Then you will investigate and perform inferential statistical methods such as t-tests, z-score, p-values, and chi-square. Finally, you will focus on hypothesis testing, simple linear regression, and correlation testing. This course can be used to prepare for CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) exam.
