Elementary Statistics by Allan G. Bluman, 4th Edition. A Brief Version
Prerequisite:
Successful completion of Math 125 or appropriate skill level demonstrated
through the math placement test.
Course Objective:
This course is an introduction of basic statistical concepts and techniques, which
include descriptive and inferential statistics, construction of statistical tables,
display data with statistical graphs, correlation and regression, probability,
statistical distributions, central limit theory, testing hypotheses & confidence
interval of a single population or two populations for population means.
Minitab is used throughout the course to present graphs, solve exercises, perform
simulations, and to interpret & analyze application problems.
Homework:
You are responsible for the assigned homework as each section is completed in
class.
Attendance:
Attendance is mandatory for all class meetings. You could be dropped after 2
absences but it is your responsibility as a student to drop a class if you decide to
quit attending class.
Cheating:
Any students caught cheating will receive an automatic “F” for the semester.
Testing:
Questions on practice quizzes, tests, and final examination will be based on
examples worked in class, assigned homework, and computer printout analysis.
There will be no make-up in-class work or quizzes. Also, there will be no make-up
tests; however, if you know in advance you cannot make a test day, please talk to
me and we might be able to arrange something. Your lowest test score and quiz
score will be dropped.
Tutorial:
Free tutoring is available in the Math Center, which is located at the basement of
the Campus Center.

Learning Outcomes
1) Classify branches of statistics, identify sources of data, evaluate sampling methodolgies.
2) Construct pie charts, bar graphs and histograms, calculate central measures; calculate the five
numbers summary, calculate standard deviation.
3) Calculate probabilities, define random variables, calculate the mean and standard deviation of
binomial variables, calculate probabilties using the standard normal distribution tables.
4) Apply the Central limit Theorem to calculate means and proportions, calculate probabilities for
the sampling distributions of the mean and proportion.
5) Use graphs to determine the shape of parent distributions and estimate the central measures of
populations.
6) Calculate confidence intervals, calculate sample size for means and sample proportions.
7) Define and test hypotheses for the mean and proportion, apply the z- and t-tests in hypotheses
testing, calculate p-values.
8) Compare two proportions or two means and draw appropriate conclusions, construct confidence
intervals for two sample means and two sample proportions.
Calculate the correlation coefficient, determine the regression line.
