STAT 113 - Introduction to Statistics

FC NSMA QFR

4 credits
A standard introduction to statistics for students with a good background in mathematics. Topics covered include exploratory data analysis, descriptive statistics, probability, sampling, estimation, and statistical inference. A broad spectrum of examples is employed. Statistical software is introduced, but no prior computer or statistics experience is assumed. A self-diagnostic exam (to check your comfort level with algebra and numerical manipulation) is available on the Mathematics Department’s “Resources” website (or contact an instructor). If you scored a 3 or higher on the AP Statistics exam, if you are somewhat comfortable with introductory statistics, or if you have a strong mathematical background (even with no statistics background), you should instead take STAT 205.
