stat 145 (Biostatistic)
The course "Biostatistics" (STAT-145) is about information; how it is obtained, how it is analyzed, and how it is interpreted.
The objective of the course is to learn:
(1) How to organize, summarize, and describe data.
(Descriptive Statistics)
(2) How to reach decisions about a large body of data by examine only a small part of the data.
(Inferential Statistics)
