Course Description
Stat 145 introduces the student to the basic principles and applications of descriptive and inferential statistics. The issues which underlie the methods of statistical design and analysis are presented using various examples with the hope that the student will gain a better understanding of statistics and their applications. Students also learn how to perform statistical analyses using Microsoft Excel. Although introductory statistics courses are often thought of as just another math class, this course focuses on the understanding and application of statistics rather than the underlying theoretical and computational aspects which often leave the student with a mindful of formulae but little understanding of their application and interpretation.
