Class Statistics I

This course will familiarize students with the basics of statistical thinking, language, and techniques. Students should be able to recognize the usefulness and wide application of these methodologies to various contexts, particularly in their subject areas. It is intended that students develop data analysis capabilities as well as acquire fundamental knowledge of probability theory and random variables. It is intended that students develop their thinking skills, helping them to address and solve real practical problems in their area of study or in other contexts.
