STAT 7100: Statistical Methods

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to the MSAS program.
Stat 7100 is designed to give students the foundation in statistical methods necessary for further study in the Master of Science in Applied Statistics program. The course begins with a study of statistical distributions (binomial, Poisson, uniform, exponential, gamma, chi-square and normal), descriptive statistics, the Central Limit Theorem, t-tests (one-sample, two-sample and paired) and confidence intervals. The course then moves on to more advanced techniques including categorical data analysis (chi-square tests), correlation, simple linear regression analysis and one-way analysis of variance.
