Course Description
Level 3 Diploma in Applied Statistics has been designed to introduce
learners to the purpose and aims of statistical analysis and the main
statistical techniques that can be used within organisations. This will
provide information and support decision making and an understanding of
how statistics are used and may be misused in this context.
The units give learners the knowledge to identify and use relevant
statistical information in a business context and to interpret and
validate statistical information, identifying any bias, as well as to
produce information of their own. They will learn the main statistical
techniques used in business and when and how to apply them and they will
gain an understanding of the use of ICT in supporting the collection
and analysis of data. The knowledge of statistics will support learners
in other areas of study relating to business such as marketing and
finance.
