Section Description

Basic Statistical Methods provides an introduction to basic statistical concepts and methods, with an emphasis placed on developing a thorough understanding of terminology, concepts and ideas. The goal of this course is for students to become statistically literate and learn how to apply this knowledge in diverse situations while providing the necessary foundation for their future study of statistics. Statistical software within Pearson MyLab is used.

Learning Goals
1. To learn how to describe and explore sets of data both numerically and graphically.
2. To learn the normal model for the distribution of a single variable and the linear regression model for the relationship between two variables.
3. To learn the basic ideas of good experimental design and good sampling design
4. To learn the fundamental ideas of statistical inference for means and proportions including both hypothesis testing and confidence intervals
5. To learn how to interpret confidence intervals and P-values in the context of real problems.
6. To learn how to be critical consumers of statistical studies reported in the media

Section Expectation

Reading the text, watching lecture videos, completing assignments will be essential parts of this course. Being an active participant cannot happen if you are not “prepared and engaged”. Reading a technical text, is a skill that may be new to many of you. Going forward, in your education and career, this is often your primary source of acquiring knowledge. Assignments will be assigned for each chapter.

Students will refer to notes/ videos uploaded and they can meet with me online to discuss any concepts and get a better understanding.

Time Commitment: 10-15 hours a week.
Materials: Access to MyStatLab Portal (includes eBook)
Hardcopy of book is optional.
