MAT 138

Descriptive Statistics with Algebra

This is the first of a 2-course sequence in introductory statistics and probability with a review of underlying algebra skills as needed. Students solve statistical problems and apply concepts to a variety of business and social science applications. Students learn how to solve statistical problems by hand and through the use of computer software. Topics include surveys and sampling; organizing and describing data; probability; and an introduction to discrete and continuous probability distributions. Together the content of MAT 138 and MAT 238 covers the content of MAT 240. Students may not take both MAT 138 and MAT 130 for credit.
