To understand how to deal with issues of uncertainty, we study probability, risk, and statistics. We will analyze relationships between variables, and learn how to forecast economic and business data. Topics include probability theory, statistical inference, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and regression analysis. MBA 6110.
