This course is part six of the MathTrackX XSeries Program which has been designed to provide you with a solid foundation in mathematical fundamentals and how they can be applied in the real world.
Guided by experts from the School of Mathematics and the Maths Learning Centre at the University of Adelaide, this course will cover random sampling, sample means and proportions, confidence intervals for sample means and proportions and one-sample tests of proportions and means.
Join us as we provide opportunities to develop your skills and confidence in applying mathematics to solve real world problems.

What you'll learn

  • The concept of a random sample, sources of bias in samples, and procedures to ensure randomness
  • The concept of the sample proportion as a random variable
  • The approximate normality of the distribution of proportions for large samples
  • The concept of an interval estimates for a parameter associated with a random variable
  • How to define the approximate margin of error for proportions.

Statistical Inference and Modeling for High-throughput Experiments (edX)

Sci: Biology & Life Sciences Statistics & Data Analysis

A focus on the techniques commonly used to perform statistical inference on high throughput data. In this course you’ll learn various statistics topics including multiple testing problem, error rates, error rate controlling procedures, false discovery rates, q-values and exploratory data analysis. We then introduce statistical modeling and how it is applied to high-throughput data. In particular, we will discuss parametric distributions, including binomial, exponential, and gamma, and describe maximum likelihood estimation.

Probability and Statistics IV: Confidence Intervals and Hypothesis Tests (edX)

Statistics & Data Analysis

This course covers two important methodologies in statistics – confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Confidence intervals allow us to make probabilistic statements such as: “We are 95% sure that Candidate Smith’s popularity is 52% +/- 3%.” Hypothesis testing allows us to pose hypotheses and test their validity in a statistically rigorous way. For instance, “Does a new drug result in a higher cure rate than the old drug”?
