Statistics 4
> MAT-157
Focuses on descriptive statistics (mean,
medium, mode, standard deviation and
variance) and introduces correlation and linear
regression. Emphasizes inferential statistics
and probability distributions as applied to
confidence intervals, hypothesis testing of
mean and standard deviation, and applications
to business and other fields.

Business Statistics 4
> MAT-162
Introduces statistics, primarily for business
majors. Investigates methods of collection,
organization, presentation, analysis and
interpretation of quantitative data as tools in
effective business decision-making. Computer
applications are used to assist in visualizing
and analyzing data. Covers descriptive
statistics, probability, confidence intervals and
hypothesis testing for one and two samples,
regression, correlation and chi-square.
Additional topics may be covered, including
ANOVA.

formulas and geometric measurements, and
solving percent problems. Familiarizes
students with ratio and proportion as a problem
solving tool, the metric system, dimensional
analysis, basic algebra with signed numbers
and solving first degree equations. Introduces
basic statistics, reading tables and graphs, and
calculating averages and weighted means.
