Course Description
This is an introductory course in descriptive and inferential statistics for students in business, liberal arts, psychology and science. Topics will be selected from numerical and graphical descriptive methods, probability and random variables, sampling methods, probability, binomial distribution, normal distribution, correlation, regression, hypothesis test, confidence intervals, and sample distributions.

Participation and attendance:
However, if it is necessary to miss any class period(s), the student will be responsible for any announcements made, sections covered, and assignments dropped off during your absence.
Regular attendance is essential for success in this class
Homework
Homework will be assigned daily and collected the following class period at the beginning of class (turn in assignment during class). Any problems encountered may be discussed in the next class. Homework should be stapled and neat (answers circle). Homework can be done on MINITAB or Excel (** Assignment must be done on Minitab), but student must know how to compute the answer without the computer for the test.
Late assignments will not be accepted
Tests
Test will be given about every 3 to 4 weeks. Unexcused or missed test will be counted as a zero. Test will cover only those sections that we cover during the course. A formula sheet is suggested each test. Each test will cover about an hour and twenty minutes of a class period.
Final Exam will take place on the last day of class and will cover the remaining section not cover by the pervious tests. (Take advance of each test)
Academic Dishonesty
Any use of form of unauthorized aid or obtaining any help from another individual during test is considered cheating. Any student caught cheating on a test will automatically receive a ZERO for the test. A formal report will be filed with the Dean of Students.
Academic Math Center
The Mathematics Center (room 2220) is a place where students can receive help in areas that they are struggling. Since there is no extra credit in this course, take advantage of this free service for KVCC students.
