Untitled document
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Apply statistics-related pre-algebra skills necessary for success in Elementary Statistics.
2. Apply statistics-related algebra skills necessary for success in Elementary Statistics.
3. Apply descriptive statistics to communicate findings in the context of the data.
4. Apply knowledge of linear functions to construct, use, and interpret mathematical models to
represent and communicate relationships in quantitative data.
5. Apply proportional reasoning, percents, and fractions to probability problems found in an
Elementary Statistics course.
6. Recognize the distinction between sample statistics and population parameters and interpret
the results of statistical inference contextually.
7. Use technology to solve problems found in an Elementary Statistics course, such as
calculating probabilities, data exploration, regression, and statistical inference.
8. Apply effective learning strategies for success in college.
