Course Objectives:	This course builds on ECO2061. The course's main objective is to understand statistical inference and its applications. Topics include sampling distributions, confidence interval estimations, and hypothesis testing with their applications in Excel.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
• acquire the meaning of statistical inference and the scope of its practices.
• estimate a confidence interval for mean, variance, and proportion of one population and two populations, then run these estimations on Excel.
• do hypothesis testing about parameters from one population and two populations, then run these hypothesis testing on Excel.
