This course focuses on statistical reasoning and solving problems using real-world data. Students will use technology-based computations using a graphing calculator with a statistical package, spreadsheets, or statistical computing software. Emphasis is on interpretation and evaluation of statistical results. Topics include data collection processes (observational studies, experimental design, sampling techniques, bias), descriptive methods using quantitative and qualitative data, bivariate data, correlation, least-squares regression, basic probability theory, probability distributions (normal distributions and normal curve, binomial distribution), confidence intervals and hypothesis tests using p-values. This course is totally online and is a dual credit course with KCC as MATH 1774, a four credit course. Because it is taught by KCC faculty, additional KCC tuition will be charged. Per KCC requirement, appropriate assessment scores on ACT, SAT, or KCC ALEKS are required prior to enrollment.
