This course is designed to introduce descriptive statistics of one and two variables, and probability; and to assimilate those concepts into an understanding of probability distributions. Topics include measures of central tendency, variability, graphical displays, linear correlation, and regression, dependent and independent probability, discrete and continuous probability distributions. The course will emphasize computer or calculator use to obtain results. This course carries SUNY General Education Mathematics (and Quantitative Reasoning) credit.
