    No cell phones, ..., are to be visible or in use on tests, during class, in the classroom, on desks, on laps, in hands, in bags unless you are asked to use them by the prof. If yours is visible or used, you may be asked to leave the class for the remainder of the day.

    Only students enrolled in this section and listed on the "Tenth Day Roster" are permitted to attend class and to complete graded assignments. Re-admission to this section requires an appropriate official paper document. Permission to replace a missed assignments is not guaranteed, but may be permitted. Judgement on missed assignments is made by the prof on an individual basis.

    If you miss class or the class is cancelled, review the material on your own.


    During the course, the student will demonstrate through quizzes, examinations, homework and projects the ability to:
  1. interpret charts and graphs and to discover the relationships among the variables involved
  2. use various modes to present data
  3. interpret measures of central tendency and dispersion
  4. explain the graphical representation of the measures of central tendency and dispersion
  5. identify the basic characteristics of the normal distribution
  6. estimate probabilities from experiments or data
  7. judge the reasonableness of answers
  8. fit data to mathematical models
  9. carry out computer simulations as a method of collecting and analyzing data
  10. describe the sampling distribution of means taken from equal sized samples
  11. identify the types of questions that statistical reasoning addresses
  12. develop a checklist of features to look for when describing a distribution of data and be able to describe features of a distribution verbally
  13. compute and use an estimate of a parameter
  14. formulate statistical hypotheses and identify one or two tailed tests
