Description

Objective:

The course objective is to provide an understanding of descriptive and inferential statistics.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Appropriately gather, organize, tabulate and present data
  • Display data in various graphs including: bar graphs, line graphs, pictographs, histograms, cumulative frequency histograms, frequency polygons and ogives
  • Discrete probability distributions including the binomial distribution, hyper geometric distribution, geometric distribution, multinomial distribution, Poisson distribution and normal distribution
  • Design appropriate samples
  • Estimate population parameters based on samples statistics
  • Determine the significance of colorations
  • Find and use a regression line
  • Do work with the chi-square distribution as related to goodness of fit and contingency table problems
  • Calculate various central tendencies and variances including mean, weighted means, median, mode, mean absolute deviation and standard deviation
  • Perform hypothesis tests
  • Test claims about means and proportions
  • Make inferences about two means and two proportions
  • Construct confidence intervals

General Topics:

  • Measurements of central tendencies, mean, median, mode, MAD, standard deviation, variance, central limit theorem, probability distributions, binomials, hypergeometric, geometric, multinomial, poisson, sample designs, normal distribution, hypothesis tests, inferences about two means and proportions, confidence intervals, regression, correlation, chi square distribution, goodness of fit, contingency tables
