Math 112 Elementary Statistics (Class # 20899) Syllabus
Course: 112 Elementary Statistics, transferable to UC, CSU
Class #: 20899, 4 units
Days: MW 5:00-7:00PM
Room: LA2
Text Book: Elementary Statistics, 11th Edition
Author: Mario F. Triola
Publisher: Pearson/Addison Wesley
Instructor: Mrs. Ing-yung Tse
Office Hours: by appointments
Telephone: 562-860-2451 ext 4785
Website: www.cerritos.edu/itse/math112 for course notes and other essential information.
Email: [email protected] (this is better than the telephone)
Prerequisite: MATH 80 or MATH 80B or equivalent with a grade of Pass or “C” or higher
satisfactory completion of the Math Placement Process.
Calculator: A TI Graphing calculator is required. The TI-84Plus Graphing calculator is strongly
recommended. A TI-83Plus graphing calculator is acceptable. Calculator will be required for
tests and quizzes. Demonstration will be done with TI-84Plus.
Course Description: An introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics. Topics included are
mean, standard deviation, variance, probabilities, random variables, binomial probability
distribution, normal probability distribution, central limit theorem, testing hypotheses,
confidence intervals, t-distribution, chi-square distribution, F-distribution, linear regression, and
linear correlation.
Learning Outcomes: The student who successfully completes Math 112 will be able to:
understand and develop the sampling techniques; interpret statistical information using tables
and graphs; compute, identify, and interpret basic statistics; understand and use formulas to
calculating descriptive statistics such as mean, median, variance and standard deviation; find the
probabilities and critical values; analyze data, test hypotheses, draw conclusions and make
statistical inferences based on sampling data; understand and appreciate the statistical application
in daily life.
Attendance: Attendance is essential
1. If you are absent for any classes during the first two weeks of class, you will be dropped
from the class.
2. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to contact another student (not the instructor) to
find out what was missed.
3. After 5 consecutive absences you may be dropped from the class without warning.
Assignments: Plan to spend 10 to 12 hours per week outside of class for reading, homework,
and other assignments.
1. You are required to access the course information on line www.cerritos.edu/itse/math 112;
this may include class notes, assignments, test reviews and solutions, announcements.
2. Reading – textbook and others assigned in class.
3. Homework – You must show all works, or no credit. No late homework.

Behavior in classroom






Be respectful and responsible.
All electronic devices (cell phones, pagers, etc.) must be in non-audio form in classroom.
No cell phone Texting during the class.
Disruptive behavior will result in removal from the class.
Excessive tardiness or random attendance in class will result point deduction on class
participation points.
Be on time to the classroom. Coming late or leave early is discourteous and a disruption
to the class. If you are tardy or leave early more than three times, you will be counted as
one absence.
