MATH 115 - Introductory Statistics

The course introduces statistical inference (including confidence interval estimation) for one and two variables using simulation-based methods and then shows how traditional theory-based methods like t-tests, chi-square tests, one-way analysis of variance can also be used. Basic descriptive statistical techniques are reviewed throughout the course and other descriptive techniques such as simple linear regression are introduced. Throughout the course there is an emphasis on conceptual understanding, the entire statistical investigation process, and active learning using group activities and projects, as well as reading and critiquing published research. Cannot receive credit for both Math 115 and MATH 219.
