Course Description:
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of statistics and data visualization using Tableau. Students will learn
probability theory, statistical analysis techniques, and how to interpret and present data effectively. They will gain hands-on
experience with Tableau software, creating visualizations and interactive dashboards. The course emphasizes the principles of
data visualization and storytelling, enabling students to communicate insights clearly. By the end of the course, students will
have the skills to analyze data, create compelling visualizations, and make data-driven decisions. This course prepares students
for careers in data analysis, business intelligence, and related fields, equipping them with essential statistical and data
visualization skills.

Course Educational Objectives:

• Develop a solid understanding of statistical concepts and techniques, including probability theory, hypothesis testing, and
correlation analysis.
• Gain proficiency in using Tableau software for data visualization, including creating charts, graphs, and interactive
dashboards.
• Acquire the skills to analyze and interpret data effectively, using statistical methods and visualization techniques to derive
meaningful insights.
• Learn to effectively communicate data insights through compelling visualizations and storytelling techniques, enabling
clear and impactful presentation of findings.
• Prepare for real-world applications in data analysis, business intelligence, and related fields, by developing practical skills
in statistical analysis and data visualization using Tableau.
