About the course and outcomes of the course
Identify the mode as the most frequent value in a dataset, including unimodal, bimodal, and multimodal patterns, and learn to compute it for grouped data using class intervals.
Explore how the coefficient of variation expresses relative variability as a percentage, by dividing standard deviation by the mean to compare data with different units.
Explore the box plot, a five-number summary of min, max, Q1, median, and Q3, and learn to interpret and draw it with data in SPSS, R, Python, or Excel.
Explore the basic laws of probability, including the additive rule for unions and intersections and the complementary law. Apply conditional probability, independence, and the multiplication rule to problems.
Explore the binomial distribution, a two-outcome model with fixed, independent trials, and learn to compute probabilities of x successes using n, p, and the binomial formula.
Explore the Poisson distribution, where the probability of X occurrences in a given time interval or region depends on lambda, the mean, with the variance equal to lambda.
Learn to work with the normal distribution by converting values to z-scores, and compute probabilities using the z-table and Excel. Apply these methods to examples like demand and semiconductor lifetimes.
