MATH 260
Pre-Statistics
Description:This course prepares students for Elementary Statistics (MATH 16). Students develop the quantitative reasoning skills necessary for success in statistics through hands-on exploration with data. Topics include working with numerical information (fractions, decimals, percentages), evaluating expressions related to statistical formulas, graphical and numerical descriptive statistics for quantitative and categorical data including two-way tables and linear regression, and an introduction to the normal distribution. There is a focus on the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills needed for MATH 16. This course is appropriate for students who do NOT plan to major in math, science, computer science, business, technology, engineering, or other calculus intensive fields. This course can serve as the equivalent to the prerequisite for Elementary Statistics (MATH 16). It may not be used to satisfy the pre-requisite for any other math course.
Recommended Preparation:Most students should enroll directly into transfer level math courses. Students are strongly encouraged to refer to the math placement grid or see a counselor before enrolling in this course.
Repeatability:May be repeated once if grade was D or F.
Grading Type:Graded
