Statistics (STA)
1021 Introduction to Statistics. 3 credits.
Sources and types of quantitative data; descriptive statistics: graphic displays
and frequency distributions, measures of central tendency and variation; samples
and populations; shapes of distributions (bimodal, skewness, kurtosis);
probability and statistical decision making; sampling distributions (binomial,
F, normal, Student’s t, U, chi-square); inferential statistics: approximating
percentages, estimating procedures, testing hypotheses for differences or
relationships (including regression and trend analyses); tests to check model
assumptions; correlation vs. causation; lying with statistics.
