MATH 110 - Intro to Statistics, GT-MA1

Topics covered include sampling methods, types of random variables and parameters, descriptive statistics (such as 5-number summary, mean, standard deviation), data presentations (such as bar charts, histograms), introductory probability, standard normal and t distributions, z scores, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, types of errors, and regression and correlation. Optional topics include chi-squared and probability distributions (such as binomial and geometric). Class periods will often be scheduled in a computer lab to exhibit calculations using technology. This can include using spreadsheets and statistics software packages. Students will be expected to write their conclusions, describe what the statistics tell us, and identify limitations and/ or problems with their conclusions.
