Math Lab: The Math Lab in Brighton Hall 118 provides free tutoring. Hours M--Th 9-5pm, F 9-1pm.
Catalog Description: Descriptive statistics, basic concepts of probability and sampling with the aim of introducing fundamental notions and techniques of statistical inference.
Prerequisites: You must have an IAD test score of 27 (or better) OR an Aleks PPL score of 51 (or better) to stay in the class(Department policy, no exceptions and no negotiations with instructor.). All students are required to show their scores by Thursday, January 25 to avoid being dropped from course. However, students who didn't meet the cutoff scores should drop themselves from the course from mysacstate. Your instructor may request to drop you if you don’t show up during the first week’s lectures, or don’t provide a proof of the prerequisites in a timely manner. Information on diagnostic exams can be found at csus.edu/math by clicking Diagnostic Exam under Courses.
Textbook: Introductory Statistics, by Neil A. Weiss (10th Edition). The e-book is also available.
Writing Component: Since STAT 1 satisfies Area B4 of the GE requirements (see the GE Area 4 Learning Goals below), students will be given regular writing assignments or online homeworks that require written responses. Students are advised to practice interpreting the results of statistical analysis using technical and non-technical language while solving assigned word problems dealing with real life situations. Class discussions will emphasize this writing component requirement of the course through the above criterion.
GE Area 4 Learning Goals: Solve problems by thinking logically, making conjectures, and constructing valid mathematical arguments; make valid inferences from numerical, graphical, and symbolic information; apply mathematical reasoning to both abstract and applied problems, and to both scientific and non-scientific problems
Homework and quizzes: HW assignments will be given through the online system MyStatLab. You can register for MyStatLab at . You will need a student access code (to be purchased from the bookstore or through the publisher's website) and the class key for this section is zhong19195. As soon as you know you met the course prerequisites and will continue in the course, you should sign up to begin homework. Quizzes will be given if necessary to help students keep up.
