This course focuses on quantitative literacy, using current events and how these events are reported in the media to examine fundamental statistical and probabilistic concepts. The goal of this course is to make students more informed, critical, readers of current news stories, and to promote a deeper understanding of the probability and statistics that they will be exposed to in dayto- day life. Potential current event topics include interpreting polls (including margin of error), sports statistics, scoring streaks, lotteries and randomness, medical research, false positives, economic indicators, coincidences, statistics in the courtroom, academic testing, the census, risk assessment, and environmental news. To understand these topics fully, students may be exposed to graphical descriptive statistics, confidence intervals, probability, measures of central tendency and dispersion, basic combinatorics, hypothesis testing, conditional probability, chi-squared test, binomial distributions, sampling, correlation, linear regression, and more. Offered on demand. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful performance on Western New England College placement test. This is an introduction to the basic descriptive and inferential techniques for presenting, analyzing, and interpreting data that may arise in several fields. Topics include frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, probability, sampling, estimation, correlation and regression, hypothesis testing, and tests of significance. Emphasis is on understanding and interpreting, not on computations. A standard statistical software package is used throughout the course. The course is intended for general students, not for those whose major program requires PSY 207, BIS 203, or ENGR 212. Credit for both this course and PSY 207 or BIS 220 is not permissible. TI- 83 calculator is required. Offered fall and spring semesters. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Three years of high school mathematics including two years of algebra. This is a study of functions, limits, continuity, the derivative, and applications of the derivative. Among the business related applied topics are supply and demand functions; marginal revenue, cost, and profit; elasticity of demand; inventory control; and compound interest. Other applied topics include looking at population trends, velocities and accelerations, depreciation of resources, and rates of change of medication in the blood stream. General applications include rates of change, curve sketching, and maximizing and minimizing functions. Credit for both this course and MATH 133 is not permissible. TI-83 calculator is required. Offered fall and spring semesters. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 123 or MATH 133. This is a study of exponential and logarithmic function, techniques and applications of integration, and multivariable calculus. Among the applied topics are models of growth and decay, continuous interest, payments on loans, consumers’ and producers’ surplus, and probability distributions. Credit for both this course and MATH 134 is not permissible.TI-83 calculator is required.Offered fall and spring semesters. 3 cr.
