STAT 1040: Introduction to StatisticsSpring 2018Textbook: Statistics, Fourth Edition by David Freedman, Robert Pisani, and Roger Purves. W.W. Norton and Company. ISBN 978-0-393-92972-0Required Supplies: TI-83 or TI-84 calculatorPrerequisites: Math 1010 or appropriate math placement score (46 or above in MATH 100R). Students who have not satisfied the prerequisites may be administratively withdrawn at any time.Course Goals: A student will be able to: 1. Understand, interpret and represent mathematical information using symbolic, visual, numerical and verbal conventions. This will be addressed through graphical methods of data representation. 2. Solve problems using numeric, algebraic, geometric and statistical methods. This will be addressed through calculating probabilities and confidence intervals. 3. Use quantitative information in context, and determine reasonableness of results. This will be addressed through interpretation of hypothesis test results, the difference between statistical significance and practical significance, and comparisons between observational and experimental studies. 4. Use appropriate mathematical tools in problem solving (e.g. calculators, computers, measurement instruments and manipulatives) in problem solving. This will be addressed through instruction on the statistical capabilities of a TI-84 calculator, R, or excel. Attendance and study time outside of class are very important for your success. STAT 1040 is a 3-credit course. Be prepared to spend 6-9 hours per week of study time outside of class. Exams: There will be four mid-terms exams worth 100 points each. If circumstances arise that prevent you from attending an exam, please contact me ahead of time as I will be much more lenient. Unexplained absences will require written documentation supporting the need for a make-up test.Tentative Exam Dates:Exam 1 – Friday, February 2 (Chapters 1-6, and boxplots)Exam 2 – Friday, March 2 (Chapters 8-14)Exam 3 – Friday, March 30 (Chapters 16-23 excluding 22)Exam 4 – Monday, April 23 (Chapters 23-29 excluding 24 & 25)Final Exam: It is departmental policy to have final exams as stated in the Spring 2018 Class Schedule. The final exam for this class is Wednesday, May 2; 9:00 am to 10:50am. Failure to take the final exam will result in a grade of UW or E (based on last date of attendance) for the course regardless of other grades. It is school policy that no one will be permitted to take a final exam early.Extra Credit: None. You need to be prepared to work hard from the start of the semester to obtain the grade you want in the class. No extra credit will be available at the end of the semester to improve your grade. Course Grade Your course grade is based on exam, and homework scores. An “I” (incomplete) grade is given only for extenuating circumstances for which there is verifiable written documentation and essentially all of the course work is completed. Your final grade for this course will be determined as followed:Homework and quizzes………..........................................................................15%Tests……………………...................................................................................60% Final exam…………..........................................................................................25% Total……………………………………………………………………………100% A 93-100B+ 87-89B- 80-82C 73-76D+ 67-69 D- 60-62A- 90-92B 83-86C+ 77-79C- 70-72D 63-66 E Below 60Academic Responsibilities: As outlined by the Students Rights & Responsibilities, page 5A. Each student is expected to take an active role in the learning process by meeting course requirements as specified in (the) written syllabi. B. Cheating (ZERO TOLERANCE) will result in a failing grade and disciplinary action by the college. Cheating includes, but is not limited to: receiving or giving assistance on a quiz or exam that is not authorized by the instructor; using notes or calculators while taking an exam, and preparing or copying other’s examination work.Presentation of Material: Each period will begin with questions over material previously covered and assigned. Once all questions are answered, the new material will be introduced and several examples will be given. If you have questions, please ask them as they occur to you. There are no DUMB QUESTIONS! If you don't understand, most likely there are others who don't understand. So, please ask questions during the class period. At the end of each class period, the problem assignment and the reading assignment for the next class period will be given. Please attend class. If you cut class, you are responsible for understanding the material covered during the class you missed and you will loss the points from in-class worksheet. The lecture will not be repeated during office hours because you decided not to attend class that day. No extra help will be given on the material unless the absence was excused. That is, DON'T MISS CLASS! Plan sufficient study time and ask for help when you need it.General Comments: Please make sure you understand the material as it is presented. As the course progresses, we will build upon the concepts covered earlier. If you fall behind, it will be nearly impossible to catch up. It is valuable to read the material to be covered before attending class. Having an idea of the material to be covered will facilitate a more thorough knowledge of the material when it is presented in class. If you need help during the semester, please see me during office hours or make an appointment. Canvas: Canvas will be used for all course communication. Check Canvas regularly for announcements. Changes to homework or schedules will be announced through Canvas. The course syllabus, assignment due dates, exam answer keys, scores and grades, can be found on Canvas.Cell Phones\iPhone\iPad: Out of respect for fellow students, all cell telephones and mobile pagers must be turned off in class. Text messaging via cell phone, iPhone, or similar device is prohibited during class. Laptop computers are permitted in class for note taking only.
