Summary

Being able to measure variations in data and identify abnormal variation is an important skill in many fields. In the financial sector, for example, fraudulent behaviour can cost huge sums of money. In this course, you will learn how to recognise patterns in data that differ “significantly” from the norm and learn how to provide evidence that the source of one dataset is different to another. You will learn how to use significance levels to quantify how unexpected the patterns or differences were, ultimately writing and interpreting your own hypothesis test.

You'll Learn To

Solve a real problem using the computational thinking process

Define the problem precisely by using a control to compare against

Choose and apply real tools to make decisions about significant differences

Interpret the results of the analysis and present an opinion based upon evidence

Choose significance levels to apply and learn their effect on type I and type II errors

Structure a hypothesis test to enable verification of your findings
