Course Description: An introduction to basic probability theory, sampling from normal populations, large-sample problems, sampling from one or two populations, estimation, and testing. SAS is used to perform statistical analyses. There are three lectures and one 1 1/2 hour lab per week. This course is demanding and requires a great deal of work. Some material covered in class may come from other sources as a supplement to the text. Students are responsible for all materials covered in the lectures. They are expected to attend all lectures and to begin the text and a hand calculator.
|
Attendence is mandatory for the lectures, as well as the computer lab. |
| Computer Lab | Midterm 1 | Midterm 2 | Final | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points possible | 10 | 30 | 30 | 30 |
|
In order to merit a passing grade, the student must obtain at least 50% of the total possible lab score and 50% of the total possible final exam score. This is non-negotiable. |
The student's course grade is then based on the following table:
| Scored Points | 0-49 | 50-60 | 61-75 | 76-90 | 91-100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course Grade | E | D | C | B | A |
|
There are no make-ups for any of the exams. The students should make all of their semesters' plans in advance. |
The only exceptions to this rule are (a) medical emergencies, together with written evidence of such an emergency; or (b) conflicting, and official, university-related activities (such as athletic meets) with written documentation. The missed exams should be rescheduled with the instructor as soon as possible.
|
A good policy for studying for this course is be to attempt the homeworks on time. Then, use the subsequent office hours to answer any or all of your unresolved questions. |
|
The midterms and the final will be taken in the lecture room. |
|
Homework assignments will not be collected. However, be aware that this is a very intensive course you are strongly encouraged to solve the homeworks in time, in order to keep up with the development of the subject matter. |
