COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Statistical data are either reported or interpreted in almost any journal and daily
newspaper. Whether as a consumer or a future professional who performs data analysis, today’s
world requires you to have a good understanding of the basic concepts of Probability and Statistics.
The communication of the results in writing is as important as the numerical values obtained.
This course has three parts: Descriptive Statistics, Fundamentals of Probability Theory, and
Probability Distributions. Each part must be well understood before attempting the next one. It is
extremely important to work alone, not in groups. Once you tried to solve the problems, you may
wish to compare your solutions with your classmates or request help from the instructor, the Math
Help Center, the Business Help Center, or your friends.
We will use five teaching materials, in order to improve students’ learning: 1) Textbook, 2)
Power point slides, 3) hand-out materials, 4) Scientific Calculator, 5) MS Excel
TEXTBOOK and other Teaching materials

 Scientific Calculator: Scientific Calculator: Sharp EL531WBBK, Sharp EL-W516B / Sharp ELW535B / Sharp EL-506WBBK / Sharp EL-520 (very important!)
 MS Excel (Optional): Bring your own Laptop in class
