This course begins with a study of basic data analysis using various graphical and numerical descriptions and one- and two-variable statistics. Concepts of sampling and experimental design are introduced. Sampling distributions are followed by statistical inference including confidence intervals and hypothesis tests for population means and proportions, ending with an analysis of variance and Chi- square. Graphing calculators are employed to study realistic data sets. A graphing calculator or simulator comparable to TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 graphing calculator is required for this course.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course: The General Education requirement for Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning is satisfied by MATH 115. To meet this General Education requirement, students will be able to demonstrate mathematical skills and quantitative reasoning, including the ability to:

interpret and draw inferences from appropriate mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables, or schematics;
represent mathematical information symbolically, visually, numerically, or verbally as appropriate; and
employ quantitative methods such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, or statistics to solve problems.

Repeatable: No
