Student Learning Goals

In Math 110 you learn to read and understand statistical information in the world around us, and you will learn to make decisions based on data. When you successfully complete Math 110, you will be able to do the following:

1. Interpret descriptive statistics and know proper sampling techniques.

2. Apply discrete and continuous probabilities to real-world situations.

3. Apply inferential statistics, such as confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and linear regression, to make decisions about data.

Course Description

The use of probability techniques, hypothesis testing, and predictive techniques to facilitate decision-making. An introduction to the mathematics involved in the statistical formulas. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability and sampling distributions; statistical inference; correlation and linear regression; analysis of variance, chi-square, and t-tests; and application of technology for statistical analysis including the interpretation of the relevance of the statistical findings. Applications using data from disciplines including business, life science, physical science, health science, education, social sciences, and psychology.
