Quantitative Methods (4) In business, decisions are made regularly in an environment where the decision maker is not certain of the factors that will eventually determine the success or failure of a current action. In this course, we do not deal with questions of what is, but of what could be, what might be, or what probably is. 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.
