Statistics Courses
STAT 0800 Companion to Statistical Reasoning (1 credits)
An optional companion course designed to support students concurrently enrolled in STAT 1100, this course will provide support for Statistical Reasoning, including supplementary instruction and just-in-time review of prerequisite concepts. Topics, which will parallel those in STAT 1100, include shape, center and spread of distributions; sampling methods; representing data; and basic probability. This course is intended strictly as support for STAT 1100 and does not fulfill a college goal area requirement.

A non-theoretical course designed to improve a student's statistical literacy. Topics include: describing distributions; introduction to sampling and study design; creating and interpreting data representations; introduction to probability; statistical issues in the news; interpreting statistical inferences. [Core Curriculum Goal Area 4.]
