People nowadays are being connected globally in various ways, and statistics plays a role in giving basic international comparison. The first part of this course introduces some basic ideas in social and economic statistics for cross-national comparison. But, statistics is always considered as a hurdle for those not strong in mathematics. The second part introduces statistics which emphasizes intuitive thinking in daily life instead of technical mathematical jargon. This will equip students with minimal statistical literacy to cope with the data saturated society with confidence, and more advanced statistics courses in future studies. Emphasis is on statistical interpretation rather than analysis.
