Throughout this third series of statistics modules, you will build on the skills developed in the first and second series of modules. This series focuses on learning about managing large datasets and graphing. The modules in Series 3 focus on a study examining patterns of cardiovascular health in chimpanzees, and explores the real data from the study to illustrate how to conduct various statistical tests. This is the first module in a series of eight.
