    Description
    Prerequisite: MATH 228A with a grade of "C" or better. Students examine averages, variability, graphical techniques, probability, probabili- ty distributions including the Normal distribution and the Chi-Square distribu- tions, hypothesis testing, sampling, estimation and confidence intervals, correla- tion, prediction, and linear regression. Students also perform ANOVA analysis. Emphasis is on the collection and analysis of data and how inferences about a pop- ulation are made from a sample. Algebraic skills and techniques from both Elementary and Intermediate Algebra are integrated into the presentation of sta- tistical methods; these include numeracy (calculation with rational numbers, signed numbers, and percents, estimating and rounding, converting units), pro- portional reasoning, writing and evaluating algebraic expressions, solving equa- tions and inequalities, modeling situations with functions (evaluating and inter- preting function values, representing functions graphically and algebraically, rec- ognizing families of functions), with particular attention to linear and exponential functions.
