MATH 10H
Introductory Statistics - HONORS

Course Description

This course is an introduction to data analysis making use of graphical and numerical techniques to study patterns and departures from patterns. The student studies randomness with an emphasis on understanding variation, collects information in the face of uncertainty, checks distributional assumptions, tests hypotheses, uses probability as a tool for anticipating what the distribution of data may look like under a set of assumptions, and uses appropriate statistical models to draw conclusions from data. The course introduces the student to applications in engineering, business, economics, medicine, education, social sciences, psychology, the sciences, and those pertaining to issues of contemporary interest. The use of technology (computers or graphing calculators) will be required in certain applications. Where appropriate, the contributions to the development of statistics by men and women from diverse cultures will be introduced. MATH 10 and therefore Math 10H is a required lower-division course for students majoring or minoring in many disciplines such as data science, nursing, business, and others. Because this is an honors course, the students will be expected to complete extra assignments to gain deeper insight into probability and statistics.
