OCEAN 100 - Statistics

An introductory college statistics course. Topics include exploratory data analysis (graphs and summary statistics), data collection (experiments, observational studies, sampling), basic probability (binomial and normal random variables), and inference (confidence intervals and hypothesis tests). Although correct calculation is important, interpretation of results will be emphasized. Technology will be used to aid in data analysis. Students will collect, as well as analyze, data.
