This course is designed to enhance student appreciation of both the beauty and utility of mathematics.

Descriptive statistics: organization of data, sample surveys, experiments and observational studies, measures of central tendency and dispersion, correlation, regression lines, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Probability theory. Random variables: expected value, variance, independence, probability distributions, normal approximation. Sampling: sampling distributions, and statistical inference, estimating population parameters, interval estimation, standard tests of hypotheses.
