    Rationale

    As members of a society increasingly devoted to the use and misuse of numbers, the student must learn to correctly interpret and construct statistical presentations in all areas of public discourse, especially in his/her major fields. This course emphasizes the major applications of statistical knowledge rather than its theory. The course seeks to educate the student who will make important contributions to his/her workplaces and communities, follow his/her chosen vocations as callings to glorify God, and fulfill the Great Commission.

    Course Assignment

    After reading the Course Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview.

    Each module, the student will complete several sets of exercises which will correlate with the assigned Learn material. These exercises will be completed using ALEKS. (CLO: A, B, C, D, E, F; TSQR 1, 2)

    This is a culminating project that is split into 5 assignments. This project will apply statistics to real-life data collection and analysis. (CLO: A, B, E; TSQR 1, 2, 4)

    • Quiz: Project: Data Collection
    • Project: Descriptive Statistics Assignment
    • Project: Confidence Intervals Assignment
    • Project: Hypothesis Tests Assignment
    • Quiz: Project: Final Report of Results

    The review assignment for each exam must be completed with a grade of at least 70% before the exam can be taken. Each question on all the Exam Reviews can be worked as many times as needed to get full credit. All the Exam Reviews can be found in ALEKS. (CLO: A, B, C, D, E, F; TSQR 1, 2)

    Each exam will be timed and open-book/open-notes. The exams will be taken in ALEKS. (CLO: A, B, C, D, E, F; TSQR 1, 2)

    Note: The student must submit all written work for the exam questions to the corresponding Written Work Submission Assignment in the same assigned Module: Week as the Exam. Exams submitted without the accompanying work will not be accepted.

    Written work for each exam must be submitted to the corresponding Written Work Submission Assignment page. Exams submitted without the accompanying work will not be accepted. 

    Quizzes will be taken in ALEKS and can be taken twice. Both attempts must be completed by the due date. (CLO: A, B, C, D, E, F; TSQR 1, 2)
