STA-Statistics (STA)

STA 2023  Elementary Statistics I  (3 Credits )  
In this course, students will utilize descriptive and inferential statistical methods in contextual situations, using technology as appropriate. The course is designed to increase problem-solving abilities and data interpretation through practical applications of statistical concepts. This course is appropriate for students in a wide range of disciplines and programs. Student Learning Outcomes: -Students will visualize and summarize data using descriptive statistics. -Students will apply basic probability concepts to draw reasonable conclusions. -Students will employ concepts of random variables, sampling distributions, and central limit theorem to analyze and interpret representations of data. -Students will choose an appropriate method of inferential statistics, including confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, to make broader decisions based on sample data. -Students will model linear relationships between quantitative variables using correlation and linear regression.

  
Prerequisite: C or higher in MAC 1105 or MGF 1106 or appropriate placement score
