Descriptive Statistics

Descriptive Statistics is a branch of statistics that deals with the organization, summarization, and interpretation of quantitative data. Coursera's Descriptive Statistics catalogue teaches you how to effectively analyze and interpret data using statistical techniques. You'll learn about measures of central tendency, dispersion, skewness, and kurtosis. Additionally, you'll understand how to create and interpret data visualizations such as histograms, box plots, and scatter plots. This skill is essential for roles in data analysis, market research, social sciences, and any field that requires data-driven decision making.
