MATH 107 Elementary Statistics I
Develops the tools to describe and interpret the main features of a collection of quantitative data: histograms, boxplots and scatterplots; the median, mean, standard deviation and correlation of a dataset; and the normal approximation. Introduces the concepts of sampling and experiments. Relates these concepts to current issues confronting tribes. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 099 or test above Intermediate Algebra. (NS, QS)
Outcomes
- Explain the concept of sample and populations.
- Explain the difference between qualitative and quantitative data, and between continuous and discrete types of data.
- Calculate the mean, mode, median and standard deviation of a sample or population.
- Predict probabilities from a normal curve.
- Construct simple graphics based on the data, such as bar graphs and histograms.
