  • Ch. 7 - Estimating Parameters and Determining Sample Sizes: Confidence intervals for means and proportions, sample size determination.

  • Ch. 8 - Hypothesis Testing: Steps in hypothesis testing, types of errors, significance levels, and tests for means and proportions.

  • Ch. 10 - Correlation and Regression: Analyzing relationships between variables using correlation coefficients and linear regression.

Assessment Structure

  • Quizzes: Regular quizzes assess understanding of recent sections.

  • Tests: Four major tests cover multiple chapters, scheduled throughout the semester.

  • Final Exam: The final is split into two parts, covering all course material.

Study Recommendations
