Information about Statistics Courses

• During the 2000 and 2001 school years we developed the Concentration in Statistics program, and modified it in 2004-05 to a Statistics and Opertions Research program.  Below are the courses that were developed and will continue to offer over the next few years.  You may read about the Statistics/OR Concentration here.  Also by selecting an appropriate set of courses a Area Minor in Mathematics focused on Statistics/OR may be obtained. See the Math Minor page.  (Note that the course numbers are all linked to their catalogue entries.)
• The quarter in whcin MA383 is offered was changed to the fall quarter starting 2007-08
• The quarter in which MA485 and MA487 are offered was changed to the winter quarter starting 2007-08

Current Year

Fall 2007

• MA223  Engineering Statistics I  - 2 sections, Evans, Devasher
• MA381  Introduction to Probability with Applications to Statistics - 3 sections, Evans, Shibberu
• MA382  Introduction to Statistics with Probability - Rader
• MA383  Engineering Statistics II  - Inlow
  Eng. Stat. II is a continuation of Eng Stat. I and will have that one course as its prerequisite.  The intent of the course is to broaden the student's statistical "tool kit" to include some analysis of variance (both parametric and non parametric), some regression to include non linear regression and multiple regression.  In addition a review of the fundamental techniques of hypothesis testing and confidence intervals for one sample mean, proportion and stand. dev. and two sample means.  New topics will include hypothesis testing of two or more proportions, two or more standard deviations, and some tests of normality. Furthermore, non-parametric techniques for one and two sample means will be developed as well as parametric and non parametric correlations. Hand calculations by calculator will be supported and supplemented by calculations using Minitab statistical software.
