MTH-1015 - Introduction to Statistics* (M) (3)

Prerequisite: MTH-0994
In this introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics, students learn about presentation of data, measures of central tendency and dispersion, the binomial and normal probability distributions, sampling techniques, correlation and regression, and hypothesis testing (z-test, t-test, chi-squared). Examples are selected from education, business, and the social and natural sciences. This course satisfies the General Education Mathematics requirement. MTH-2300 is now MTH-1015.
