This course is meant to be a direct continuation of "Statistics and Data Analysis with Excel, Part 1." Therefore, it is not recommended to take Part 2 unless you've also taken Part 1. Building on the topics learned in Part 1 of the course (probability, probability mass and density functions, the normal and standard normal distributions), this course dives into a more applied side of statistics. Topics in Part 2 include sampling distributions; one-sample hypothesis tests on the mean, variance, and binomial proportion; two-sample hypothesis tests (comparison of means, variances, and binomial proportions of samples drawn from two populations); simple (straight-line) regression; multilinear regression; and analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Statistical techniques are taught with the help of Microsoft Excel, which is an intuitive software package that has many built-in functions and tools for statistical analysis. This course is the second course out of three that comprise the specialization "Statistics and Applied Data Analysis." Course 3 ("Statistics and Data Analysis with R") focuses on statistical analysis in the statistical software package RStudio.

A really great blend of some theory but a lot of practical experience using statistics in Excel. The course leader presents the material very clearly.

Thank you, Dr. Charlie Nuttleman for such a wonderfully designed course. I mean, I had taken statistics in R environment and as an econometric course as well, but never did I really enjoy and felt immersed interactively like the ones you offered. Also, the guided workshops were very well-designed. So, thank you for the wonderful course.
Regards,

The Specialization is a very thorough learning about Statistics with many examples for us to understand the principles. Some modules are hard but fun.
