This is the first quarter of two in the Statway sequence comprised of MATH 217 and MATH 17. This sequence covers concepts and methods of statistics with an emphasis on data analysis. Topics include methods for collecting data, graphical and numerical descriptive statistics, correlation, simple linear regression, non-linear models and basic concepts of probability. The course introduces the student to applications in engineering, business, economics, medicine, education, the sciences, and those pertaining to issues of contemporary interest. Where appropriate, the contributions to the development of statistics by men and women from diverse cultures will be introduced. This sequence is recommended for students with majors that require no mathematics beyond freshman-level statistics. It is not appropriate for students with majors in math, science, computer science or business, nor for students desiring to transfer to a private university.
