STAT 291 Probability and Statistics

Students will learn foundational topics in the disciplines of probability and statistics. Students will learn to investigate a set of data graphically and numerically as well as to calculate the probability of various outcomes using a probability concepts and discrete and continuous probability distribution functions. Finally, these topics are combined to give an introduction to inference where students learn to make conclusions about populations based on data. Minitab is introduced as a means to conduct basic analysis. A scientific calculator with STAT mode is required.
