Indeed, we should be on the look-out for ""black swans"" - low-probability high-impact events.<br>
<br>
To study, or not to study? To invest, or not to invest? To marry, or not to marry?<br>
<br>
While uncertainty makes decision-making difficult, it does at least make life exciting! If the entire future was known in advance, there would never be an element of surprise. Whether a good future or a bad future, it would be a known future.<br>
<br>
In this course we consider many useful tools to deal with uncertainty and help us to make informed (and hence better) decisions - essential skills for a lifetime of good decision-making.<br>
<br>
Key topics include quantifying uncertainty with probability, descriptive statistics, point and interval estimation of means and proportions, the basics of hypothesis testing, and a selection of multivariate applications of key terms and concepts seen throughout the course.","<div class=""wysiwyg text-1 line-wide"">
