Course Offerings

STAT 110V - Elementary Concepts of Statistics

• Either semester. Four credits. Three class periods and one discussion period. Note: Students can receive no more than four credits for Statistics 100 and 110 because the content for each course overlaps a great deal; therefore, students should usually be advised to take either Statistics 100 OR Statistics 110.
• Standard and nonparametric approaches to statistical analysis; exploratory data analysis, elementary probability, sampling distributions, estimation and hypothesis testing, one- and two-sample procedures, regression and correlation. Learning to do statistical analysis on a personal computer is an integral part of the course.

  Jessica M. Utts and Robert F. Heckard. Brook/Cole. This text replaces: "The Basic Practice of Statistics" by Moore, 3rd Edition, 2004. Freeman Publishers. ISBN 071672930X
