Course prerequisites: College Algebra
Required textbook: The Basic Practice of Statistics by David Moore, 4th Edition.
Course Description: Measures of central tendency and dispersion; probability distributions, inferences concerning means and proportions; goodness of fit; correlation; linear regression.
Course Objectives:
-
Become conversant in the vocabulary of the field of Statistics
-
Appreciate the Mathematics employed to generate statistical summaries
-
Be able to link problems with appropriate statistical solutions
-
Learn how to calculate pertinent statistical expressions
-
Master the ability to interpret statistical results
Attendance: Statistical studies have shown there is a large positive correlation between coming to class and high grades. Be here! Read first, listen to lecture, participate in any in-class activities, try the homework and check your work during the in-class problem sessions. Note that early non-attendance jeopardizes the receipt of financial aid. Do not miss an exam except due to uncontrollable circumstances and alert me to this immediately and prior to exam time.
Exams and Grading: There will be 4 in-class tests and few graded assignments or class activities worth 1 test grade and a final exam. Exams will mimic the assigned homework problems. 90%+ is an A; 80% to < 90% a B; 70% to <80% a C; 60% to <70% a D; and below 60% an F.
Makeup Work: In the event of an absence from a test day, proper documentation of your excuse must be produced. Makeups are likely to be harder since you have had more time to study. No make-ups will be offered for in-class activities.
ADA: Every attempt will be made to assist students with physical or learning impairments that have been documented with a letter from AASU’s Director of Disabilities Services.
Getting Help: There is a mathematics tutorial lab available to you in Solms Hall 206. Please visit it (most mornings, some evenings--even Sundays, usually) to see when the statistics experts will be there.
Cheating: Do your own work on the in-class tests. Violators are brought to AASU’s Honors Court. An ‘F’ will be assigned as your course grade.
