  4. MAT 152 Statistical Methods I Class 3 Lab 2 Credit 4 Minimum State Prerequisite(s): DMA 010, DMA 020, DMA 030, DMA 040, DMA 050, and DRE 098 Minimum State Corequisite(s): None This course provides a project-based approach to introductory statistics with an emphasis on using real-world data and statistical literacy. Topics include descriptive statistics, correlation and regression, basic probability, discrete and continuous probability distributions, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Upon completion, students should be able to use appropriate technology to describe important characteristics of a data set, draw inferences about a population from sample data, and interpret and communicate results.

  5. MAT 152 Statistical Methods I Rationale for new course: This course replaces the two introductory statistics courses (MAT 151 and MAT 155) currently in the Combined Course Library, combining the key learning objectives of each. This course will improve student communication skills in statistics based on American Statistical Association standards. Additionally, this course will increase awareness of uses of technology in statistics.

  6. MAT 152 Statistical Methods I Rationale for embedding lab hours: The steering committee feels the utilization of lab hours should be consistent across the state. Since NCCCS data showed that 61 percent of the students enrolled in MAT 151 and MAT 155 also enrolled in the separate lab section, it was determined to include the hours in the course. The embedded hours will allow the students the opportunity to enhance the learning of concepts pertaining to the course by working collaboratively on active learning projects, communicating mathematical thought using clear and effective written and oral communication, and applying appropriate quantitative tools and logical modes of thinking to analyze and synthesize information in problem solving situations.
