Math Advising Guide: Statistics Path
| Students taking 0940 should feel confident doing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with counting numbers, and have some familiarity with positive and negative numbers. | Students in 0940 will learn to calculate with signed numbers, including fractions, decimals and integers. They will also learn to manipulate algebra expressions (including polynomials and those containing negative exponents) and solve basic equations. Students will learn to solve word problems using equations and be introduced to graphing. |

Students taking 2170 should feel confident using operations with fractions, decimals, signed numbers, proportions, ratios and rates of change, and percents, evaluating formulas, and finding equations and graphs of lines and linear models. |
Students in 2170 will learn to prepare and conduct a statistical study, which includes analyzing the data and drawing conclusions. They will also learn to use probability theory and distributions, and to conduct estimation and hypothesis testing about population parameters (proportion, mean, variance, standard deviation), including point and confidence interval estimations, and sample size determination. Additionally, they will learn to analyze paired sample data and use statistical methods for analyzing categorical data. |
