STAT 202-DL : Introduction to Statistics
Description
This course provides an introduction to probability and
statistics theory. Assignments and projects help develop students’
analytic and critical thinking skills and challenge them to apply
statistical analysis with real world data. The course contains
three parts: methods of data collection, techniques for data
organization and analysis, and techniques for interpreting data
using statistical methodologies. Students will learn not only how
to appropriately collect and analyze data, but how to draw
conclusions from their data for use in decision-making. The course
emphasizes use of Microsoft Excel for graphing and data analysis in
homework assignments. Students will also collect and analyze a data
set of personal interest for the final project. A final paper will
also be prepared. Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint techniques
relevant to the final project will be taught in class, however, a
basic understanding of these applications is expected.
This course is conducted completely online. A technology fee will
be added to tuition.
