Description:

Concepts in probability and statistics are developed to the extent necessary to understand the applications. Most topics are introduced in a case-study fashion, usually by reading an article in a current periodical such as the New York Times. Other examples are drawn from journals such as Chance, Nature, Science, and Scientific American. Primary reading is supplemented by readings on basic probability and statistics. The goal is to enable the student to make critical judgments and come to informed conclusions about current issues involving chance. Prerequisite: eligibility for Q courses.
