From politics to sports to class assignments, we come across statistics every day. This workshop, provided by the University of Manitoba Centre for Social Science Research and Policy, explores how statistics are collected and measured, and how we can make sense about what they mean.
Using current, real world examples, grow your confidence when dealing with statistics from your favourite sports team, at the office, or in the classroom.
The workshop is designed for both graduate and undergraduate students as well as faculty members or anyone who wants a fun, hands-on introduction to statistics and how they are used both in research and in everyday life.
