Statistics Program Highlights

Our Minor in Statistics program provides a well-rounded approach to many areas in probability and statistics. When you study statistics at Park University, you will learn about basic concepts such as probability models, discrete random variables, normal distributions, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Once you have acquired the fundamental concepts, you will go on to apply these skills to one of three areas:

  1. The natural sciences: This includes biological investigation, hypothesis testing, sampling protocol and experimental design.
  2. The social sciences: Basic descriptive and inferential statistics, analyses of association and variance, effect sizes, and others in their parametric and nonparametric forms.
  3. Mathematics statistics: The calculus-based study of probability and statistics for mathematics and science majors.
