This course covers commonly used statistical inference methods for numerical and categorical data. You will learn how to set up and perform hypothesis tests, interpret p-values, and report the results of your analysis in a way that is interpretable for clients or the public. Using numerous data examples, you will learn to report estimates of quantities in a way that expresses the uncertainty of the quantity of interest. You will be guided through installing and using R and RStudio (free statistical software), and will use this software for lab exercises and a final project. The course introduces practical tools for performing data analysis and explores the fundamental concepts necessary to interpret and report results for both categorical and numerical data

About the Specialization and the Course
This short module introduces basics about Coursera specializations and courses in general, this specialization: Statistics with R, and this course: Inferential Statistics. Please take several minutes to browse them through. Thanks for joining us in this course!
Central Limit Theorem and Confidence Interval
Welcome to Inferential Statistics! In this course we will discuss Foundations for Inference. Check out the learning objectives, start watching the videos, and finally work on the quiz and the labs of this week. In addition to videos that introduce new concepts, you will also see a few videos that walk you through application examples related to the week's topics. In the first week we will introduce Central Limit Theorem (CLT) and confidence interval.
Inference and Significance
Welcome to Week Two! This week we will discuss formal hypothesis testing and relate testing procedures back to estimation via confidence intervals. These topics will be introduced within the context of working with a population mean, however we will also give you a brief peek at what's to come in the next two weeks by discussing how the methods we're learning can be extended to other estimators. We will also discuss crucial considerations like decision errors and statistical vs. practical significance. The labs for this week will illustrate concepts of sampling distributions and confidence levels.
Inference for Comparing Means
Welcome to Week Three of the course! This week we will introduce the t-distribution and comparing means as well as a simulation based method for creating a confidence interval: bootstrapping. If you have questions or discussions, please use this week's forum to ask/discuss with peers.
Inference for Proportions
Welcome to Week Four of our course! In this unit, we’ll discuss inference for categorical data. We use methods introduced this week to answer questions like “What proportion of the American public approves of the job of the Supreme Court is doing?”.

This course by Professor Çetinkaya-Rundel is awesome because it is taught in a very clear and vivid way. Lab section and forum are so dope that I love them so much! Definitely strong recommendation!!!
Great course. If you put in a little effort, you will come out with a lot of new knowledge. I recommend using the book after you have seen the movies. It gives a deeper picture of how it works. Great!
This course is an excellent overview of inferential statistic tests / hypothesis tests and confidence intervals. The organization and material is quite good, with exercises and applications using R.
Awesome. I loved the way this course is done. I know what Test Statistic to use for what type of data and under which conditions. I am preparing a cheat-sheet that will be shared with all later on.

常见问题
我什么时候能够访问课程视频和作业？
讲座和作业的访问权限取决于您的注册类型。如果您以旁听模式参加课程，则可以免费查看大多数课程资料。要访问评分作业并获得证书，您需要在旁听期间或之后购买证书体验。如果看不到旁听选项：
- 课程可能不提供旁听选项。您可以尝试免费试用，也可以申请助学金。
- 课程可能会改为提供'完整课程，没有证书'。通过此选项，您可以查看所有课程材料、提交所要求的作业，以及获得最终成绩。这也意味着您将无法购买证书体验。
我订阅此专项课程后会得到什么？
您注册课程后，将有权访问专项课程中的所有课程，并且会在完成课程后获得证书。您的电子课程证书将添加到您的成就页中，您可以通过该页打印您的课程证书或将其添加到您的领英档案中。如果您只想阅读和查看课程内容，可以免费旁听课程。
Is financial aid available?
是的，Coursera 可以为无法承担费用的学生提供助学金。通过点击左侧“注册”按钮下的“助学金”链接可以申请助学金。您可以根据屏幕提示完成申请，申请获批后会收到通知。您需要针对专项课程中的每一门课程完成上述步骤，包括毕业项目。了解更多。
Cost of the Course
If you want to complete the course and earn a Course Certificate by submitting assignments for a grade, you can upgrade your experience by subscribing to the course for $49/month. You can also apply for financial aid if you can't afford the course fee.
When you enroll in a course that is part of a Specialization (which this course is), you will automatically be enrolled in the entire Specialization. You can unenroll from the Specialization if you’re not interested in the other courses or cancel your subscription once you complete the single course.
Can I just enroll in a single course? I'm not interested in the entire Specialization.
To enroll in an individual course, search for the course title in the catalog.
To get full access to a course, including the option to earn grades and a Course Certificate, you'll need to subscribe. New subscribers will start with a full access subscription, which includes full access to every course in the Coursera catalog. Existing Specialization subscribers will be given the option to update to a full access subscription when enrolling in a new Specialization or course.
When you enroll in a course that is part of a Specialization, you will automatically be enrolled in the entire Specialization. You can unenroll from the Specialization if you’re not interested in the other courses.
Will I receive a transcript from Duke University for completing this course?
No. Completion of a Coursera course does not earn you academic credit from Duke; therefore, Duke is not able to provide you with a university transcript. However, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
完成课程后，我会获得大学学分吗？
此课程不提供大学学分，但部分大学可能会选择接受课程证书作为学分。查看您的合作院校，了解详情。Coursera 上的在线学位和 Mastertrack™ 证书提供获得大学学分的机会。
