General Statistics Courses

STAT 110 is a first course in statistics at the freshman level which is devoted to the basic concepts of statistical thinking, including techniques of collecting, organizing, and presenting statistical data.

STAT 201 emphasizes the concepts and methods of statistical inference, assuming a knowledge of basic college algebra, STAT 110, MATH 111, or MATH 115 is a good preparation for STAT 201. Next in line are STAT 515, 516 for an empha~is on the methodology of statistics, and STAT 511, 512, 513 for an emphasis on probability an·d mathematical statistics.

General Statistics Courses

ST AT 110 is a first course in statistics at the freshman level which is devoted to the basic concepts of statistical thinking, including techniques of collecting, organizing, and presenting statistical data.

ST AT 20 I emphasizes the concepts and methods of statistical inference, assuming a knevi'ledge ef basic eellege algebra. Any of STAT 110, MATH 111, or MA TH 115 is-a provide good preparation for ST AT 201. Next in line are STAT 515, 516 for an emphasis eH the methedelegy of statisties, and STAT 511, 512, 513 fer aH emphasis on probability and mathematieal statisties.

STAT 515 or STAT 509 provide a thorough introduction to statistical methods. followed bv advanced methods in STAT 516. and advanced· applications in STAT 506. 518. 519. 520. 525. 530.

ST AT 511. 512. 513 provide an introduction to the the01y ofprobabilitv and mathematical statistics.
