Course Description

 

Insert Course Description This course covers descriptive and inferential statistics.  The descriptive portion analyzes data through graphs, measures of central tendency and spread.  Other statistical practices utilize basic probability, binomial and normal distributions, estimation of population parameters, hypothesis testing, linear regression and correlation.  Analytical reading and problem solving are required for success in this course.  This course meets district G.E. requirements.  Associate Degree & transfer to CSU (CAN STAT 2) and private colleges and universities. CSU General Education;  IGETC UC, Transfer Course List :Mathematics (MATH) 119 combined with Biology (BIOL) 200 or Psychology (PSYC) 258: maximum credit, one course.

 

   This particular Online Course is designed to introduce students to basic statistical concepts.  The stress will be on understanding when to use which technique rather than just crunching numbers through formulas.  Use of a computer and knowledge of ‘Window’s’ based applications is a requirement since calculations will be done using Statdisk or DDXL- an add-on to the Excel Spreadsheet Program.

 

 

 

Course Objectives

 

Insert Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes. Objectives:

Upon successful completion of the course the student, with the aid of the computer where appropriate, will be able to:

 

1.      Evaluate means and standard deviations of both grouped and individual item samples.

2.      Evaluate probabilities using the definition, the multiplication formula, the addition formula, and counting procedures.

3.      Evaluate probabilities using the Normal Distribution tale and the Binomial Distribution Table.

4.      Evaluate probabilities of Sampling Distributions (both Binomial and non-Binomial).

5.      Construct confidence intervals of means using large and small samples of proportions, and of variances.

6.      Determine sample size when estimating means and proportions.

7.      Do hypothesis testing of means, proportions, and variances (one and two sample problems).

8.      Evaluate Correlation and use it to predict in a Regression model.
