This course is meant to be a direct continuation of "Statistics and Data Analysis with Excel, Part 1." Therefore, it is not recommended to take Part 2 unless you've also taken Part 1. Building on the topics learned in Part 1 of the course (probability, probability mass and density functions, the normal and standard normal distributions), this course dives into a more applied side of statistics. Topics in Part 2 include sampling distributions; one-sample hypothesis tests on the mean, variance, and binomial proportion; two-sample hypothesis tests (comparison of means, variances, and binomial proportions of samples drawn from two populations); simple (straight-line) regression; multilinear regression; and analysis of variance (ANOVA).

There are 7 modules in this course
Week 1 of the course is an introduction to Part 2 of "Statistics and Data Analysis with Excel." You will have several short, orientation-type reading assignments and you will have the opportunity to review some important concepts from Part 1 of the course. Finally, you'll be introduced to some of the main concepts and goals of the course.

In Week 2 of the course, you will learn all about sampling distributions and how they are different from population distributions, which you learned about in Part 1 of the course. You will also learn about the "variance known" and "variance unknown" cases and the differences between them. You'll learn all about the T distribution and how to create confidence intervals on the population mean when variance is known and unknown. Finally, you will learn about the chi-squared distribution and how to create confidence intervals on the population variance.

Week 3 will introduce you to hypothesis testing. You will perform hypothesis tests on single-sample parameters (mean and variance). You will then learn about Type I and Type II errors, how to calculate beta and power, and how to determine sample size for a specified power of the test. Finally, you will learn how to perform hypothesis tests on a binomial proportion.

Week 4 is all about hypothesis tests related to comparision of means, variances, and binomial proportions of two populations. You will also learn how to perform paired T-tests and you will learn how to use the F distribution.

Week 5 introduces you to linear regression models. You will learn how to create simple linear regression models, perform hypothesis tests on the slope and intercept, and calculate the coefficient of determination and adjusted R-squared value. You will also learn how to use Excel's Regression tool to create linear regression models.

Building off of concepts you learned in Week 5 of the course, Week 6 will introduce you to multiple linear regression models. You will learn how to perform hypothesis tests on model parameters and how to create confidence and prediction intervals. Finally, you will be introduced to nonlinear regression (logistic regression).

In Week 7, you will learn the basics of one-way and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). You will learn how to do this "by hand" and also using a built-in tool in Excel.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
