Untitled document
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Create and use graphic displays of data and frequency distributions.
2. Define mean, median, mode, percentiles, variability and standard
deviation and compute each for sets of data.
3. Use laws of probability and Baye's formula.
4. Define and apply combinations, permutations, sample space, and
probability distributions.
5. Apply Central Limit Theorem.
6. Calculate sampling distributions of means, proportions and standard
error.
7. Compute confidence intervals and required sample size.
8. Perform hypothesis testing for mean, proportion and variance.
9. Implement goodness of fit test, the test for independence, and
Analysis of Variance.
10. Discuss linear regression and correlation, and use technology to
compute regression equations.
11. Use statistics software package for evaluation of data and inference.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing. | Writing 0 - 0% |
None | |
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments are more appropriate for this course. |
|
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills. | Problem Solving 5 - 20% |
Homework problems | |
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams. | Skill Demonstrations 0 - 0% |
None | |
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams. | Exams 70 - 95% |
Multiple choice, Free reponse exams, quizzes | |
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories. | Other Category 0 - 10% |
Projects (e.g., computer activities, surveys or data collection and analysis) | |
