An introduction to statistical techniques with emphasis on methods particularly applicable to biological and health sciences. Topics include: descriptive statistics, estimation and hypothesis testing, linear and logistic regression, contingency tables, life tables, and experimental design. Computerized data analysis will be an essential component of the labs. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 2 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): Foundations of Mathematics 30 or Pre-Calculus 30; and BIOL 120.3 or permission of the department. . Note: One of MATH 104.3, MATH 110.3, MATH 176.3, or STAT 103.3 is recommended but not essential. Students with credit for GE 210.3, PLSC 214.3, STAT 242.3, or STAT 245.3 may not take this course for credit. Students may take STAT 242.3 for credit in a subsequent term. Please refer to the Statistics Course Regulations in the Arts and Science section of the Course and Program Catalogue.
