BUS 221 Analytic Methods in Business
Building upon concepts learned in BUS 219, students in this course learn to use analytic tools to help solve practical business problems. Students will learn how to determine whether there are statistically significant differences between groups, using t-tests, Chi Square and Analysis of Variance techniques. Students will learn to apply Regression models (including simple regression, multiple regression, and dummy variable techniques) to better understand business problems. This course is focused on the hands-on use of data and technology to address a realistic business problem for a company of the student’s choice. A lab component provides students with hands-on experience gathering and manipulating data, and generating results in Excel.
