Description
The course is a study of requisite mathematical foundations of statistics followed by extensive coverage of statistical techniques used in research and data analysis. The mathematical foundations include scales of measurement, probability, the binomial and normal distributions and sampling theory. The statistical techniques include descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics covered include at least through correlation. Inferential statistics covered include at least through simple ANOVA designs. Assumptions, logic and interpretation of statistics are emphasized over calculation. Prerequisite: MATH120 or ACT score of 21 or above. This course will have a mathematics/basic algebra review test during the first week of class. Students not achieving 70% or better will be strongly advised to drop the class and take a course to improve mathematics/algebra skills.
