MAT-1140C Introduction to Statistics



Credits 3
This is an introductory course in statistics intended for students in a wide variety of areas of study. Topics discussed include displaying and describing data, probability, binomial and normal distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, and regression and correlation.  

MAT-1140C is equivalent to MAT-1140 and fulfills the General Education Mathematics requirement.

Prerequisite(s): Determined by placement methods.

Corequisite(s): MAT-0114C  

Course Outcomes

  1. Interpret quantitative data using graphs and descriptive statistics with emphasis on histograms and boxplots.
  2. Compute measures of expectation and variation for a discrete probability distribution.
  3. Compute probability for a binomial and normal distribution.
  4. Perform calculations to estimate parameters using confidence intervals based on the normal distribution and t-distribution.
  5. Perform hypotheses testing involving a sample mean, proportion, and standard deviation/variance.
  6. Perform hypotheses testing involving two sample means (independent and dependent), two population proportions, and two standard deviations/variances.
  7. Construct linear regression models and correlation coefficients from datasets.
