This course is an introductory course in statistics. Students will learn how to summarize important characteristics of a data set using both pictures and numerical measures. Students will explore probability concepts and some useful probability distributions. Finally, students will understand and learn to apply methods using probability to infer some characteristics of the population from the information contained in the data. Throughout the course students will learn what assumptions are necessary to make our techniques valid. The course will emphasize applications in Engineering and Science. Corequisite: MATH 2110 or MATH 2650 or MATH 2111
