Course Outcomes

Interpret quantitative data using graphs and descriptive statistics with emphasis on histograms and boxplots.
Compute measures of expectation and variation for a discrete probability distribution.
Compute probability for a binomial and normal distribution.
Perform calculations to estimate parameters using confidence intervals based on the normal distribution and t-distribution.
