Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionThis course serves as a prerequisite to Statistics 101 for non-physical science majors and non-math majors. Taken by itself, Statistics 100 is not degree applicable, nor is it a substitute for any degree-applicable Math or Statistics course. Basic algebraic methods are emphasized as they relate to statistics, including topics like percents, converting units, evaluating expressions, solving equations, and linear functions. Methods for the collection and analysis of data will emphasize real-world application. Students will gain a foundation for studying correlation, experimental and descriptive study designs, sampling methods, probability and the normal distribution, and measures of central tendency. Content includes learning to interpret visual representations of data and analyzing various graphs and tables. The sole purpose of this course is to lead students to the graduation and transfer requirements of Statistics 101, as this course alone does not fulfill requirements in the area of Mathematical Concepts and Quantitative Reasoning. Students will not meet math competency credit as stated in E-79 for taking this course. If students wish to proceed to higher level Mathematics courses, they would need to pursue the Mathematics pathway.
