Statistical Ideas 3<br />
> MAT-155<br />
Designed for students who are not majoring in<br />
mathematics or the sciences. The course<br />
provides an overview of the basic ideas needed<br />
by consumers of statistics and can also provide<br />
a helpful framework for a more detailed study<br />
of the subject.<br />
(3/0/0/0); ASE Code: A; Prereq: MAT-102 or<br />
MAT-107<br />
Statistics 4<br />
> MAT-157<br />
Focuses on descriptive statistics (mean,<br />
medium, mode, standard deviation and<br />
variance) and introduces correlation and linear<br />
regression. Emphasizes inferential statistics<br />
and probability distributions as applied to<br />
confidence intervals, hypothesis testing of<br />
mean and standard deviation, and applications<br />
to business and other fields.<br />
(4/0/0/0); ASE Code: A; Prereq: MAT-102 or<br />
MAT-107 or MAT-155<br />
98<br />
Business Statistics 4<br />
> MAT-162<br />
Introduces statistics, primarily for business<br />
majors. Investigates methods of collection,<br />
organization, presentation, analysis and<br />
interpretation of quantitative data as tools in<br />
effective business decision-making. Computer<br />
applications are used to assist in visualizing<br />
and analyzing data. Covers descriptive<br />
statistics, probability, confidence intervals and<br />
hypothesis testing for one and two samples,<br />
regression, correlation and chi-square.<br />
Additional topics may be covered, including<br />
ANOVA.<br />
(4/0/0/0); ASE Code: A; Prereq: MAT-138 or<br />
MAT-140 or MAT-155 or MAT-157<br />
