| Course Description | This course covers the basic concepts and procedures in descriptive and inferential statistics. As a follow up of MATH 233 Statistics I course, this course begins with the review of basic concepts such as standard deviation, standardized scores (i.e., z-scores), standard error, the distribution of sample means, and probability and normal distribution. The course will continue with the methods for hypothesis testing and describing relationships between two (or more) variables, t-statistic, the t-test for the two independent and related samples, estimation, analysis of variance test for differences among two or more population means (ANOVA), correlations, and nonparametric tests. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) appreciate the importance of statistics and data analysis 2) understand the basics of hypothesis testing; 3) understand and apply the non-directional and directional hypothesis testing techniques 4) understand the concept of analysis of variance test for differences among two or more population means (ANOVA); 5) understand and apply correlation and regression techniques 6) understand some non-parametric tests such as the concept of chi-square statistic |
