Introductory Remarks

This section of Math on Info is an introduction to the subject of statistics. Its intent is to provide the exposure to statistics requisite for business and social science majors, and arguably the minimum exposure requisite for contribution to a decision-making process. It is based on a one-semester course that the site manager taught at Minnesota State University Moorhead in the fall of 2003.
