PLACEMENT IN THIS COURSE REQUIRES APPROVAL BY THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR.
This is a non-calculus-based, college-level introductory statistics class. This course explores problems in many fields, including business, science, sports, and public policy. Students should be confident with high school math through Algebra II or its equivalent. Department approval is required to enroll in this course.
Data analysis, collection, and probability occupy the first semester. These topics are combined to discuss inference during the second semester. Students will also understand the conditions and assumptions necessary to use particular statistical tools, construct confidence intervals, and perform hypothesis tests.
