4 unit  
Transfer Credit: CSU; UC credit limitations. See counselor.
C-ID: MATH 110
Prerequisite(s): Placement as determined by the college’s multiple measures assessment process or completion of a course taught at or above the level of intermediate algebra
This course is an introduction to statistical thinking and processes, including methods and concepts for discovery and decision-making using data. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability and sampling distributions; statistical inference; correlation and linear regression; analysis of variance, chi-squared, and t-tests; and application of technology for statistical analysis including the interpretation of the relevance of the statistical findings. Students apply methods and processes to applications using data from a broad range of disciplines. No credit if taken after STAT C1000H, STAT 015, STAT 018, STAT 050, or STAT 050H. Formerly: STAT 050. Total of 72 hours lecture.

C-ID: MATH 110
Prerequisite(s): Placement as determined by the college’s multiple measures assessment process or completion of a course taught at or above the level of intermediate algebra
Enrollment Limitation: Acceptance into the Honors program
This course is an introduction to statistical thinking and processes, including methods and concepts for discovery and decision-making using data. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability and sampling distributions; statistical inference; correlation and linear regression; analysis of variance, chi-squared, and t-tests; and application of technology for statistical analysis including the interpretation of the relevance of the statistical findings. Students apply methods and processes to applications using data from a broad range of disciplines. This is an honors course. Students are expected to complete additional assignments to demonstrate stronger analytical skills and critical analysis of articles published in peer-reviewed journals and primary scientific literature. No credit if taken after STAT C1000, STAT 015, STAT 018, STAT 050, or STAT 050H. Formerly STAT 050H. Total of 72 hours lecture.
Grade Mode: Letter Grade, Pass/No-Pass
