MATH 114: Workshop in Statistics (XM)

Course Description

The goal of this course is to learn statistics through activities and discussion. Statistics is the discipline that focuses on collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting numerical information that comes from data and making decisions based upon data. Because data can arise from so many different sources, applications of statistics show up in almost every field of study, including environmental sciences, business and economics, social sciences, and health sciences. This is a problem-based inquiry seminar: the environment is supported by small class sizes with opportunities for students to interact with each other and participate in their own learning. This course is intended for students whose majors do not require a strong foundation in algebra. Prerequisite: MATH 101 or 103 with a grade of C or better or placement.
