In the review, the student should point out the major points of the article including how the article related to the material being studied in this class. Comments on the examples presents and on "obvious" statements given should be included. Any extensions, applications or connections to other material that the student discovers should be included.. Course Outline: People often make claims about being the biggest, best, most often recommended, etc. One sometimes even believes these claims. In this class, we will attempt to determine if such claims are reasonable by first introducing probability from a semi rigorous mathematical viewpoint using concepts developed in Calculus. We will use this framework to carefully discuss making such statistical inferences as above and in general to obtain accurate knowledge even when the known data is not complete. For general mathematics majors, this course satisfies the applied area requirement (III) listed in the college catalog. For math education majors, this course is required. This course carries three hours of academic credit. (From the college catalog: This course is a calculus based introduction to probability and statistics. Major emphasis is placed on developing a precise framework for solving problems under uncertainty. Topics covered include expected value, probability density functions and their distributions, interpretation of the Central Limit Theorem and its application to confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.) Learning Objectives: This term, we will rigorously investigate the following concepts: various descriptive measures and methods including: random variables measures of the middle and the spread how to deal with grouped data expected value and distribution measures discrete random variables, their distribution properties and how to apply them uniform hypergeometric bernoulli binomial geometric negative binomial Poisson continuous random variables, their distribution properties and how to apply them uniform exponential normal others, as time permits grouped data and the Central Limit Theorem confidence intervals statistical tolerance intervals various types of hypothesis testing (as time permits) Meetings: The format of class meetings will consist generally of lectures by the instructor. Student participation will be encouraged via classroom discussions as well as problem sessions where the student will present their work. This class meets as scheduled. You are expected to be in class on time. University policy states that a student cannot miss more than 25% of class meetings and receive credit for the course. Further, attendance will be necessary in order to understand the material and make a good grade. The student is responsible for work and material missed when absent. Cheating in any way will be properly rewarded according to University policy (See the Undergraduate Bulletin;  HYPERLINK "http://www.mc.edu/publications/policies/academic/219.html" http://www.mc.edu/publications/policies/academic/219.html). MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE ACADEMIC POLICIES: Students should consult the ԹϺ policy manual located at http://www.mc.edu/resources/publications/policies/ for official information regarding: Class attendance - Policy 2.10 Grading - Policy 2.15 Cheating - Policy 2.19 Counseling and Career Services - Policy 2.25 Research - Policy 2.27 Counseling and Testing Center - Policy 2.34 Students who may require accomodation due to a documented handicap should follow the procedures located at http://www.mc.edu/about/offices/counseling/disabilities/ The Generic Grading Scale for this course is A = 90-100, B = 80-89, C = 70-79, D = 60-69. Individual instructors are free to choose a different grading scheme so students should consult their section's particular syllabus for the official grading scale to be utilized.
