FERPA : The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that prohibits the instructor from sharing student information (grades, class progress, etc..) with anybody except the student. This means that I cannot share your information with family members (parents, spouses, etc ). Dropping : If you need to drop the class for any reason, it is entirely your responsibility to do so. If you don't drop the class, you may end up with an 'F' on your transcript. : Last Day to drop without receiving a W 01/31/2016 : Last Day to drop with a W grade 04/01/2016 Course Organization : You are expected to read through the indicated sections before each class meeting. This will allow you to get the maximum benefit from class discussions. Attendance : I consider regular and complete attendance crucial to the success in this class, therefore attendance will be taken.

2 Class Disruptions : Using electronic devices for other purposes than needed in class. : Sleeping in class, doing homework in class or partaking in other non-math activities will not be tolerated. : All Class Disruptions can result in a zero for the WA. Course Description : Topics for the course are tabular, graphical and numerical methods of summarizing data, finite probability, discrete and continuous random variables, binomial probability distribution, normal probability distribution, sampling distributions, point and interval estimation, one and two sample hypothesis testing procedures, analysis of variance, chi-square analysis, linear regression and correlation. Student Learning : Upon completion of the course, students will be able to Outcomes 1. Solve problems using fundamental laws of probability. 2. Analyze and summarize data using descriptive statistics. 3. Apply theories of inferential statistics. 4. Solve problems using fundamental laws of probability. 5. Analyze and summarize data using descriptive statistics. 6. Apply theories of inferential statistics. Detailed Outline : The objective of the course will be to 1. Describe and identify a variety of sampling methods. 2. Distinguish between a variety of variable types. 3. Calculate measures of center, variation and position. 4. Display data in a graphical/pictorial format. 5. Interpret diagrams and graphs related to collected data. 6. State and apply the fundamental laws of probability. 7. Apply the fundamental counting rule. 8. Solve counting problems involving permutations. 9. Solve counting problems involving combinations. 10. Solve problems involving data that result in a binomial distribution. 11. Solve problems involving data that result in a normal distribution. 12. Apply the Central Limit Theorem. 13.
