Take me to the Fall Term '99 Time Schedule for Statistics.
Prerequisites & Distribution: No credit granted to those who have completed or are enrolled in Soc. 210, Stat. 265, 311, 402, 405, or 412, or Econ. 404 or 405. (4). (MSA). (BS). (QR/1).
Credits: (4).
Course Homepage: http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~bkg/100F99/
This course is designed to provide an overview of the field of statistics. Course topics include methods of analyzing and summarizing data, statistical reasoning as a means of learning from observations (experimental or sample), and techniques for dealing with uncertainties in drawing conclusions from collected data. Basic fallacies in common statistical analyses and reasoning are discussed and proper methods indicated. The course emphasis is on presenting basic underlying concepts rather than on covering a wide variety of different methodologies. Course evaluation is based on a combination of a Thursday evening midterm examination, a final examination, in-class quizzes, weekly homework, and lab participation. The course format includes three lectures (3 hours per week) and a laboratory (1 hour per week).
