STAT 104

A basic introduction to descriptive statistics, probability, sampling, estimation, hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression. Recommended for anyone who wishes to evaluate research involving statistical analysis, especially students in humanities and social science. Using statistical computer software is essential to this course. Note: As a general rule, students with Mathematics 11 are prepared to take STAT 104, those with Mathematics 12 are prepared to take STAT 106, and those with a full year of calculus are prepared to take STAT 270/MATH 270. Before registering, students should check the requirements of their program. The UFV Mathematics major program requires STAT 270, while the Mathematics minor program requires STAT 106 or STAT/MATH 270. Note: Some degree and diploma credentials may allow only one of STAT 104 or STAT 106 to count as credit towards meeting program requirements. -- Prerequisite -- One of the following: (One of the following: (C or better in one of Principles of Mathematics 11, Applications of Mathematics 11, MATH 085, Foundations of Mathematics 11, Pre-calculus 11, Calculus 12, or Statistics 12) or (B or better in one of Workplace Mathematics 11, History of Mathematics 11, Apprenticeship Mathematics 12, or Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics 12) or (one of Foundations of Mathematics 12, Pre-calculus 12, Principles of Mathematics 12, or Applications of Mathematics 12) or (any UFV MATH course numbered 092 or higher) or (a score of 17/25 or better on Part A of the MSAT) or (45 university-level credits with department permission). -- Corequisite -- None. -- Pre or Corequisite -- None.
