* Catalog description: A first course in statistics for students in business; nursing; allied health; or the social, physical, or behavioral sciences; or for any student requiring knowledge of the fundamental procedures for data organization and analysis.

Skills: S Prerequisites: A satisfactory score on the ACC Mathematics Assessment Test.

* Inferential Statistics: Some summaries of statistics courses use the phrases "descriptive statistics" and "inferential statistics". MATH 1342 includes both descriptive and inferential statistics. We cover the standard inferential statistics topics usually taught in a beginning course, including the usual confidence intervals and hypothesis tests for means, proportions, and regression models.

* Prerequisite Review Sheets

* Departmental First-Day Handout (The web course is structured a bit differently than the in-class course and uses some additional materials.)

* Important information about the text: The new text comes shrink-wrapped with a StatsPortal folder in it. Do not unwrap it until you are sure you will stay in the course will not not need to return it. When you open it, you can see the access code in StatsPortal and use it. After that, the code has no value to anyone else, so the book is not as valuable as it was new. Thus, the bookstore will not give a full refund for an opened package.
