DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
COURSE SYLLABUS
MAT-250 STATISTICS II
COURSE This course is an introduction to methods for the design of research studies
DESCRIPTION: and the interpretation of data that result from these studies. Topics considered
include a brief review of elementary statistical concepts, additional cases of
hypothesis testing and estimation, analysis of variance, analysis of enumerative
data, linear regression and correlation, and nonparametric statistics. Laboratory
assignments using a statistical software package are include in the course
CREDITS/HOURS: 3 credits 4 hours
PREREQUISITE: MAT-150 with a grade of C or better or by permission of the Department Chair
GENERAL EDUCATION
COURSE: Yes
STUDENT Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
LEARNING
OBJECTIVES: 1. Analyze sample data in order to construct a confidence interval for
one and two populations and make inferences based on the results.
2 Conduct a test of hypothesis by gathering data and information from
various sources. Organize and synthesize information to draw
conclusions about the validity of a claim about one and two populations.
3. Collect data from various information sources, and effectively evaluate
and organize data to create graphical displays. Use these graphical
displays of data to analyze data and develop the simple linear regression
model to make predictions from this data.
4. Demonstrate comprehension of the fundamentals of experimental design
and develop the analysis of data collected from a completely randomized
design using ANOVA.
ASSESSMENT Each of the above listed student learning objectives will be assessed by,
MEASURES: 1. Written assignments and/or quizzes.
2. Written examinations
3. Other, as announced by the instructor
COURSE GRADE: Students should refer to the instructor’s grading policy which will be distributed during
the first meeting of the class.
