Catalog Course Description
A noncredit math boot camp designed to help students with basic and transfer-level statistics. Recommended for students who need to gain confidence in their algebra and statistics skills. 36 lecture hours.
Course Objectives
- Calculate probabilities using normal and t-distributions.\\n
- Distinguish the difference between sample and population distributions and analyze the role played by the Central Limit Theorem.
- Construct and interpret confidence intervals.
- Determine and interpret levels of statistical significance including p-values.
- Formulate hypothesis tests involving samples from one population.
