This course is offered as part of the Marine Biology Quarter in Spring, 2018.

Statistics endeavors to provide unbiased methods for detecting and quantifying differences in the environment that may enhance our understanding of the natural world. Analytical methods have been used extensively in marine sciences, fisheries, and other environmental studies, and they often provide a foundation for making decisions and allocating resources.

This course will engage students with exercises and activities tailored towards biological and natural resource sciences with a marine focus. Specific content includes: random variables, expectations, variances, binomial, hypergeometric, Poisson, normal, chi-square, “t” and “F” distributions.
