2019-2020 Catalog

MTH-212 Statistics for Business

Covers descriptive statistics, data presentation, analysis, and interpretation, sampling techniques, hypothesis testing for single and multiple samples, analysis of variance; selection of appropriate parametric and non-parametric statistical tests, correlation and regression; and multi-step decision-making techniques in a business environment. Students use a statistical computer software package to analyze and interpret data. Note: MTH-139 and MTH-212 cover the same basic core of statistics; however, MTH-212 moves at a faster pace, is more oriented toward business examples, and explores hypothesis tests to a greater depth. No more than four credit hours will be granted to students taking MTH-139 and MTH-212. (4 contact hours)
