Department of Mathematics: Faculty Academic Course Work Plan Course Overview

This document outlines the course plan for an Introduction to Elementary Statistics class. The 3 credit course introduces students to basic statistical methods and analysis of data. Topics covered include frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, the normal distribution, correlation, regression, and chi-square tests. Students will be assessed through assignments, tests, a midterm, and a final exam. The course will be taught over 14 weeks through lectures, demonstrations, group work, and problem solving.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces students of the social sciences, Biology and Chemistry to the basic
understanding of simple statistical methods needed to do simple analysis of data as development
changes occurs in the real world. Students will appreciate the use of tables, graphs and
measurements to analyzing research data. The course covered topics such as Frequency distribution,
Data Description; measures of central tendency, measures of variation, measures of position, the
Normal Distribution, Correlation and Regression; and the use of statistical tables.

PRE-REQUISITE

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course, the students shall be able to identify, define, describe, write, graph,
distinguish, solve, and optimize, problems involving: statistics, variables, sample, population data
collection, frequency distribution, graphs, mean, median, mode, geometric mean, weighted mean,
variance, standard deviation, quartiles, percentiles, deciles, standard normal distribution, area under
the curve, scatter plots, correlation, correlation coefficient, rank correlation, regression, regression
by least square method, the regression equation and the statistical tables
