Course Description：

This course primarily introduces the theory and computational methods of statistics, along with its application in business. The textbook used is "Anderson et al., 2019, Statistics for Business & Economics (14th Edition), Cengage Learning Ltd. (ISBN: 0357114485)." The topics for the next semester include hypothesis testing, inference on population variance, multiple proportion comparisons, independence tests, experimental design, analysis of variance, regression analysis, and non-parametric methods, among others. The teaching method in the classroom is primarily lecture-based. In addition to teaching the theory of statistics, data analysis and report interpretation for the above topics will also be conducted using R software. (Note: The weekly course progress and homework requirements will be adjusted according to the actual teaching situation.) (The course is taught in English)

Course Objectives & Learning Outcomes：

The teaching objectives of this course are to enable students to possess the following abilities after completing it: (1) Understand and explain the specialized terminology used in various application areas of statistics. (2) Comprehend the main theories behind independence tests and goodness-of-fit tests. (3) Understand the principles of experimental design, analysis of variance, regression analysis, and non-parametric methods, and be able to apply them to real-world problems to make statistical inferences. (4) Conduct data analysis for the topics taught this semester using statistical software (R). (5) Interpret the reports and charts generated by statistical software (R).

(Course Schedule & Requirements) (Subject to modifications at any time based on the actual progress of the teaching.)：

Notes (in class)：

• The regulations regarding absences and truancy will be handled according to the school rules.
• The highest principle in class is "mutual respect", and students have the obligation to "inform the teacher" accordingly.
• School's policy: Working definition of EMI: For EMI courses, the delivery of content, whole-class interaction, the learning materials, and the demonstration and assessment of learning outcomes (such as oral presentation, assignments, or tests) should be in English. Other languages may be used in a principled and limited way in specific circumstances, ... lecturers should ensure that at least 70% of class communication takes place in English.

Notes (exams)：

• All four exams will be held during regular class hours (quiz: 14:10~15:50, midtem/final exam: 13:10~15:50). Make-up exams are not allowed without a special reason. (Please report any special reasons in advance; if the teacher approves the make-up exam, it should be arranged with the TA within one week). Only one make-up exam is allowed. There is no make-up exam for the R programming bonus test.
• The calculation method for make-up exam scores is: (original score - 60) x 0.7 + 60. For example, if the original score of the make-up exam is 80 points, then the make-up exam score is (80 - 60) x 0.7 + 60 = 74 points. If the original score of the make-up exam is less than 60 points, the original score will be used.
• The exam questions will be in English. The type of questions for each exam are: 3~4 multiple-choice questions (15~20 points), 2~4 fill-in-the-blank questions (15~20 points), 2 short answer questions (20 points), and 2 calculation questions (40 points). (There may be some bonus questions, 10~20 points.)
• A score greater than 100 points will be recorded as 100 points, and then multiplied by the percentage corresponding to the score.
• Students caught cheating during the exam will not have any of their current and future exam papers and assignments graded by the teacher. In severe cases, the matter will be reported to the school for further action. (No cheating during the exam，不要作弊!)
• If you have any questions about your grades, please contact the teacher within one week after the grades are announced.
