Statistically Significant Interaction
Learning Outcome
Explain a statistically significant interaction
Title
Simple Problems
Learning Outcome
Solve simple problems using axioms of probability, conditional probability, independence, and Bayes' theorem
Title
Experimental Design
Learning Outcome
Understand the basics of experimental design, including the definition of the experimental unit, response, variable, factor(s), and level(s) of a basic experiment, and the role of randomization and replication to permit causal inference
Title

Title
Compute Probabilities
Learning Outcome
Compute probabilities, expected value, and variance using the pdf of a discrete univariaterandom variable
