Description A 3 credit but 4 hour introductory course. Topics include sample spaces and probabilities, discrete (Binomial, Poisson) and continuous (Normal, Student, Chi-Square) probability distributions, expectation and variance, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and correlation and regression. Students will form groups to prepare a simple research project involving comparison of 2 variables. Excel is used extensively.
