MTH 1153 - Statistics

This course is intended for students who need an upper level statistics course to meet a specific program requirement. It also meets the general education requirement in mathematics. The use of technology-based computations (more advanced than a basic scientific calculator, such as graphing calculators with a statistical package, spreadsheets, or statistical computing software) is required with an emphasis on interpretation and evaluation of statistical results. Topics include data collection processes (observational studies, experimental design, sampling techniques, bias), organization, presentation, and description of quantitative and qualitative data, percentiles, measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, binomial distribution, normal distributions, correlation and regression, probability, hypothesis testing using p-values, confidence intervals, sampling, sampling distributions, and research methods. PREREQUISITE: MTH 1102 College Algebra or equivalent with grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.
