MATH057 PO - Thinking with Data

When Offered: Each fall.
Instructor(s): J. Hardin
Credit: 1

The application of statistics to real-world problems goes beyond the application of formulae to a body of data. Statisticians become involved in research problems at the initial stages of formulating the hypotheses to be addressed, and continue their involvement through the design and presentation of the results. This course exposes the student to the complete spectrum of activities in which a statistician is involved. Many topics from introductory statistics will be covered including conditional probability, sampling, hypothesis testing, and ethical reporting. This class will be taught in the Inside-Out Prison Exchange format, alongside incarcerated students at the California Rehabilitation Center. Not intended for students who have already taken statistics.
