Compute and understand probability. Set up a probability distribution using the rules of probability including the multiplication rule, binomial probability, etc. Understand the normal distribution with its role in basic statistical methods. Understand the central limit theorem and its role in basic statistical methods. Conduct a hypothesis test and interpret the results. THIS COURSE MEETS THE FOLLOWING GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS: Critical Thinking, Objective b.: Students will apply critical thinking skills though evaluating sources. Students will learn to think carefully about the source of their data and how it affects the validity of the data. Critical Thinking, Objective c.: Students will apply critical thinking skills through analyzing data and arguments. Students will analyze measures of central tendency, measures of variation, distribution and measures of relative standing of data sets from both samples and populations. Furthermore students will learn how to analyze results of data from experiments and differentiate between common and unusual outcomes. Critical Thinking, Objective d: Students will apply critical thinking skills through interpreting initial results. Students will learn how to analyze results of data from experiments and differentiate between common and unusual outcomes. Problem Solving, Objective b: Students will demonstrate scientific and quantitative problemsolving skills through performing mathematical operations. Students will learn how to compute mean, median, midrange, mode, variance, range and standard deviation of a data set. Students will also learn how to solve normal distribution problems using mathematical operations. Furthermore, students will use mathematical operations to solve problems dealing with probability and percentages. Problem Solving, Objective c.: Students will demonstrate scientific and quantitative problem solving skills through interpreting tables and graphs. Students will learn how to solve probability problems involving tables and graphs. Students will also learn how to organize and analyze data using frequency distributions, histograms, frequency polygons, and stem-and-leaf plots. Students will also learn how to solve binomial distribution problems using the binomial distribution table. Students will learn how to set up a confidence interval using the z-score, t-score or chi-square table. Furthermore, students will learn how to analyze the properties of the normal distribution using z-score tables and normal curves. Problem Solving, Objective d.: Students will demonstrate scientific and quantitative problemsolving skills through applying percentages, ratios, and averages. Students will learn how to calculate theoretical and empirical probabilities. Students will also use ratios to calculate odds. Furthermore, students will learn how to calculate averages using measures of central tendency.
