Description

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS STAT 213.07 – Introduction to Applied Statistics Online Zoom Class Meeting: MTWR 5:45 – 7:19 PM Instructor: Kikuno Nonoyama Email: [email protected], [email protected] Office Hours: After class by appointment Prerequistites: MATH 125 or appropriate score on placement exam. Material: Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis, 5th Edition, by Roxy Peck, Chris Olsen, Jay L. Devore, Duxbury Press. Customized Edition (Lose Leaf and WebAssign Bundle). Learning Outcomes: This course emphasizes statistical literacy and develops statistical thinking. Statistical literacy is promoted throughout the text in the many examples and exercises, drawn from published research findings and the popular press. Many of the examples and exercises discussed will highlight the central role of probability and statistics in 21st century science. Students should understand how to adequately interpret and communicate statistical results. Understanding the nature and role of variability is key to developing sound skills in statistical thinking. Grading Policy and Benchmark: Your final grade will be determined by WebAssign homework assignments, two term exams, and a cumulative final exam. The term exams and final are closed book. The final counts twice as much as the term exams. Lowest score will be dropped (if lowest score is at the final exam, that score will be counted only once). No make-up exams will be allowed for any reason including an emergency or a technical issue. There are no exceptions. (Please prepare to have a backup plan just in case you lose your internet connection during an exam.) If you miss a term exam due to an emergency or a technical issue, it will be counted as the lowest grade. Page files, screenshots, pictures will NOT be accepted or graded for any reason in this course. Component

(If you send me an email after class, your attendance will not be marked.) 3. Class Participation: Students are expected to participate in the class discussions and become actively involved in the course. The use of your phone is not allowed in the classroom since it distracts me and other students in class. The use of the calculator on your phone is strictly prohibited.

If you expect an emergency call, please just let me know prior to class. It is also inappropriate to be talking or doing something unrelated to the subject once class has started. Please be aware that such disturbing behavior will have a significantly negative impact on your final grade.
