Syllabus
Course Description:
The objective of this course is to provide students with knowledge of elementary probability and statistics. Students will learn the basic concepts of descriptive statistics, probability and random variables in MAT 221. Students continuing in MAT 222 will learn how to use statistics in many areas to make various decisions.
Text:
Introduction to the Practice of Statistics, by David S. Moore and George P. McCabe, 7th Edition. Chapters 1 through 6 will be covered in MAT 221.
Prerequisite:
Algebra 2/ Trigonometry competency must be established before taking MAT 221.
Calculators:
A TI-84 or comparable graphing calculator is recommended for the course. If you cannot acquire a calculator of your own, one may be made available to you at school. A graphing calculator is essential for homework, tests, and quizzes.
Cell Phones:
All electronic devices other than the calculator should be turned off and put away during class. Calculators on cell phones are not to be used on tests or quizzes.
Grading:
There will be three tests counting 20% each and a final exam counting 25% toward your final grade. The remaining 15% will be based on attendance, homework, quizzes, and class work at the instructor’s discretion. A test score missing due to an excused absence will be replaced by the appropriate part of the final exam. Final grade will be given according to the following scale:
A (93 – 100) A- (90 – 92) B+ (87 – 89) B (83 – 86) B- (80 – 82)
C+ (77 – 79) C (73 – 76) C- (70 – 72) D (60 – 69) F (0 – 59)
Special Note on the Final Exam:
Do not plan to be out of town on any of these dates. There will be absolutely no make-up for any reason. If you miss a test for a valid reason, the final will count correspondingly more. The final exam will take place during a THREE hour period within 8:00 am to 3:00 pm the week of January 26 – 30, 2015.
Homework:
Homework assignments will be made daily. The homework/quiz policy for each section will be announced by the instructor.
Academic Honesty:
All cases of academic dishonesty may be reported to administration at the High School and/or the University. There is no tolerance for cheating and other immoral and immature behavior.
Students with Disability:
Students with disability are urged to see the instructor as soon as possible.
