MTH 110 INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICAL REASONING
This course is intended to help students develop a deep conceptual understanding of statistics. This foundation will enable them to be rationally critical consumers of statistics, by preparing them to make informed decisions based upon the statistical information with which they are presented on a daily basis. Topics include descriptive statistics, correlation and regression, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. These topics are approached in a way intended to develop the associated basic skills as well as to help the students develop a deeper understanding. This preparation will make them familiar with the underlying principles and ready them to ask the right types of questions when presented with an argument that relies on statistics.
