Course description:
This course provides the students with the fundamental understanding of probability and
statistics. It focuses on the collection, analysis, presentation and interpretation of data, and
probability. Analysis includes descriptive statistics, correlation and regression, confidence
intervals and hypothesis testing.
Course learning program: upon successful completion of this course, students will:
1. Explain the use of data collection and statistics as tools to reach reasonable
conclusions.
2. Recognize, examine and interpret the basic principles of describing and presenting
data.
3. Compute and interpret empirical and theoretical probabilities using the rules of
probabilities and combinatorics. (Empirical and Quantitative)
4. Explain the role of probability in statistics.
5. Examine, analyze and compare various sampling distributions for both discrete and
continuous random variables.
6. Describe and compute confidence intervals.
7. Perform hypothesis testing using statistical methods. (Critical Thinking)
