We will learn how to describe data effectively, how to run a simple regression, and how to interpret the results. The second purpose of this course is to provide you with the basic knowledge in probability theories, such as expected values or probability distributions, which are necessary in understanding other courses in MBA classes. Course Outline: 1. Describing data 2. Simple regressions analyses, and how to interpret the results 3. Discrete random variables and probability distribution. (a) Expected values (b) Variance, covariance (c) Some common discrete distributions (binomial distribution, etc) 4. Continuous random variables and probability distributions. (a) Expected values (b) Variance, covariance (c) Normal distribution. 5. Hypothesis testing Grading: Homework Midterm exam Final exam (15%) (40%): In-class, closed-book exam (45%): In-class, closed-book exam Final exam data: March 21 (Monday) from 10:30 AM Remark; You can utilize not only class time but also office hours to address any questions and unclear matters.
