If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.


MTH 114: Statistics For Natural Sciences

3 credits

Develops tools for making decisions when faced with data. Learn techniques for analyzing and displaying data, and performing statistical tests, using illustrative examples drawn from the sciences. Make extensive use of statistical software in integrated labs and lectures as an aid to reason. (Learning Goals:Q;Distribution Reqs:Mathematics,Computing & Logic)

Learning Goals

Students will learn to use professional statistical software which can analyze data. Students will be able to distinguish between when to perform different statistical reasoning tests. Students will be able to analyze a graphical representation of statistical data and draw appropriate conclusions. Students will learn to compute a z-score or a t-score, a confidence interval, and conduct a hypothesis test. Given the appropriate data, students will be able to calculate a numerical summary measure (i.e. mean, median, variance, range, IQR, etc.)
