MTH 139Probability and Statistics

Catalog

This course covers gathering, organizing, presenting, and interpreting data; variability, uncertainty and hypothesis testing; methods of drawing inferences, making decisions from observed data, and probabilistic models. Students will be introduced to a statistical computer software package to help analyze and interpret data. Note: MTH-139 and MTH-212 cover the same basic core of statistics; however, MTH-212 moves at a faster pace, is more oriented toward business examples, and explores hypothesis tests to a greater depth. No more than four credit hours will be granted to students taking MTH-139 and MTH-212. (4 contact hours)
