Course Description: This course covers descriptive statistics, including organization and presentation of data; elementary probability including permutations, combinations, binomial and normal distributions; inferential statistics including random sampling, hypothesis testing, regression, and correlation and chi-square distributions. Attendance: Regular class attendance is expected. It is your responsibility to withdraw from the class if you find that you can no longer attend. You may be dropped for any one of the following reasons: Missing the first day of class, without contacting me. After 6 absences throughout the semester. Arriving late or leaving early is considered an absence. Missed two exams. MATH IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT!

Student Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course, the student is expected to be able to: A. Use descriptive statistics to organize, summarize, and analyze data. 1. Organize and present data in both tabular and graphical formats. 2. Compute and interpret the measures of central tendency, variation, position, and existence and effect outliers. B. Identify and calculate a variety of probabilities using the appropriate techniques. 1. Apply basic counting techniques including permutations and combinations. 2. Calculate probabilities using basic probability rules and properties including the Addition rule and Multiplication rule. C. Use a common data distributions to solve for probabilities. 1. Recognize discrete probability distributions, including the binomial distribution. 2. Select the appropriate distribution and calculate and interpret the results. 3. Evaluate data using the normal distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. D. Use inferential statistics to make and support claims about data populations. 1. Utilize and identify valid sampling techniques. 2. Estimate statistics using confidence intervals. 3. Test the validity of a claim using hypothesis testing. 4. Analyze contingency tables using chi-square. 5. Analyze paired data (Regression, Correlation, and ANOVA). E. Apply statistical methods. 1. Assess the importance and use of statistics. 2. Make appropriate use of calculators and computers to compute various statistical measures and execute/analyze various statistical programs/procedures. 3. Solve a variety of word problems and applications using the above skills. Conduct: Students are expected to conduct themselves in a mature manner at all times while in the classroom. Disruptive behavior or activity that generally detracts from the learning efforts of others will not be tolerated! Offenders will be asked to permanently move to another location in the classroom or will be asked to leave. Measure will be taken to have a student permanently removed for repeat offenders. If you have a question while the instructor is lecturing, ask the instructor and not one of your peers. Students are expected to work independently or in small groups with little input from the instructor. Having your peers answer questions with the plentiful information you are given should be your first source. Your instructor is available for questions only after you have valiantly attempted to answer your own question. A seating chart will be used for attendance purposes, the instructor reserve the right to assign seats to all students. For liability issues, no children, pets or other living creatures will be allowed to enter the classroom. All cell phones and pagers must be turned off before entering the classroom. If your cell phone goes off during class, I will be the one to answer it. Dont cheat on homework, quizzes, or exams. If you do cheat you will receive a 0% for that homework, quiz, or exam. Talking and sharing calculators are also considered cheating.

Homework: There should be at least 2 hours outside of class for every hour in class, studying and doing homework. Homework is due on exam days. Each section is worth 10 points for the entire section. You have 2 options to turn in homework: pencil and paper or online using MathXL. Option 1: Pencil and Paper The following criterion must be met for each homework assignment. 1. Homework will be collected on the day of the test for that chapter. 2. Staple all of the pages together. 3. Every homework assignment must be neat and legible. 4. Assignments must be done in pencil and not in pen. 5. Circle or box all numeric solutions. 6. Write the chapter and assigned problems before starting any assignments. 7. You must show all work. An answer with no or little work shown is not acceptable. Keep in mind that mathematics is also a way of communication. Option 2: Online using MathXL You can access this part of the course by going to http://www.mathxl.com/ Course ID: XL0P-81SV-601Y-1JO2 The online homework will be shorter and you have until midnight of the exam date to submit it. The computer program provides assistance in completing the assignments. See page 8 of the syllabus for assistance in registering with MathXL. NO LATE HOMEWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED! Exams: Four exams and a comprehensive final will be given. No make-up or retakes will be given for any medical or non-medical reasons. To compensate for this, your the lowest exam will be replaced with your final exam grade, if it is in your favor. Exams will have a 75-minute time limit, while the final exam will have a 110-minute time limit. Final exam is scheduled for Thursday December 15 from 9:0010:50am. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS! If you know you will be absent on an exam day you can arrange to take the exam early. This goes for sports and student activities and any other situations when you must be absent on an exam day. You must make these arrangements 24 hours prior to the exam. There are no make-ups or re-take exams, only one exam grade will be replaced with your final. Exam Exam #1 Exam #2 Exam #3 Exam #4 Final Exam Date Tuesday 9/13 Thursday 10/6 Tuesday 11/1 Tuesday 11/22 Thursday 12/15 at 9:00-10:50am Content Chapters 1, 2, & 3 Chapters 4 & 5 Chapters 6 & 7 Chapter 8 Comprehensive SLOs (See Page 5) A, E B, C, E C, D, E D, E All SLOs

Grades: Close grades will be rounded up depending upon class participation. I will determine a close grade. Please keep all handed back materials and check whether I am correct. I do make mistakes. Grades will be given on the typical grading scale: A B C D F 89.5-100% 79.5-89.4% 69.5-79.4% 59.5-69.4% 0-59.4% Homework: Exams: Final: 15% 65% 20%

American Disabilities Act: If you have a verified physical, medical, psychological, or learning disability or perhaps you feel you may have one of these disabilities which impacts your ability to carry out assigned course work, please contact the Disabled Student Services (DSS) office. DSS staff will review your needs and determine what accommodations are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential. DSS is located in the Lesher Student Services Bldg. Room 234, phone (209) 384-6155. In Los Banos, DSS is located in Building A, phone (209) 381-6423. Academic and Dishonesty Policy: Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, collusion, misuse of college computers and software, and other dishonest conduct as outlined below. It is not limited to the following examples: Obtaining information from another student before an examination. Obtaining information from another student during an examination. Communicating information to another student during an examination. Knowingly allowing another student to copy ones work. Offering another persons work as ones own. This would include downloading essays from the Internet or using another students work from a disk. Taking an examination for another student or having someone take an examination for oneself. Using unauthorized materials (such as notes or cheat sheets) or unauthorized equipment (such as calculators, cell phones, IPOD) during an examination. Altering a graded examination or assignment and returning it for additional credit. If it feels like cheating, it probably is, so dont do it! All acts of dishonesty will result in a zero on the assignment(s) and will be reported to the office of the Vice-President of Student Personnel. OTHER STUDENTS IN THE CLASS: Successful students form study groups and work together on homework outside of class. In addition, if you have to be absent from class, it is helpful to have a classmate you can call to pick up worksheets or take notes for you. Name: Phone Number: E-mail:
