A Brief Version
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Math 125 or a passing score of math placement
test.
Course Objective: This course is an introduction of basic statistical concepts and techniques, which includes descriptive and inferential statistics, construction of statistical tables, display data with statistical graphs, correlation and regression, probability, statistical distributions, central limit theory, testing hypotheses & confidence interval of a single population or two populations for population means.
Minitab is used throughout the course to present graphs, to solve exercises, to perform a simulation, and to interpret & analyze application problems.
Homework: Hand-written homework will be assigned per chapter. You are responsible for the assigned homework as each section is completed in class. There will be three computer homework assignments for the semester. Hand-written and computer homework will not be picked up or graded. Solutions will be posted on my website.
Student Learning 1. Organize, describe, analyze, and interpret data through the use of
Outcomes: statistical methods.
2. Use statistical concepts involving normal curve, confidence interval,
and hypothesis testing to draw sound conclusions and make informed
decisions.
3. Use the rules of probability to solve problems and interpret their
results.
