This course prepares and provides students with the knowledge and skills to read, interpret, and produce tables and graphs - including tendency, spread and dispersion, and scientific notation. It teaches the fundamentals of numerical data and how to recognize different types of data to make assessments.

This course will help learners to:

• Use numerical data to describe research with detail and precision.

• Define average and central tendency and use these to analyze data and understand what they tell you about typical observations in data.

• Measure the spread of data to understand and assess variation in data.    

• Recognize and make sense of bar charts, pie charts, histograms, box plots, line graphs, and scatterplots - and identify what questions to ask these graphs to interpret their data.

• Apply a seven-step framework to interpret numerical data with confidence and clarity.
