1 Elementary Statistics 5 units Math 12 Fall 2016 Section #95045 room 711 Presents the use of probability techniques, hypothesis testing, and predictive techniques to facilitate decision-making. Prerequisite: MATH 142 or MATH 152 or equivalent skills. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC with limits: MATH 12/12H combined with BUS 9 and PSYCH 2Amaximum credit- 1 course Class hours Tuesday and Thursday 6:30 to 8:55 pm rm 711 Instructor: Ellen Venable elvenabl@cabrillo.edu (use for fastest reply) Office hours: Tuesday and Thursday 6:00 6:30 pm and 8:55 9:20 pm in rm 711 Voice mail x1679 Website: My page on Cabrillo's website has copies of homework assignments and syllabus. You can also find this page by searching for Venable at Text: REQUIRED: "Introductory Statistics" by Prem S. Mann, Eighth edition, ISBN: , ISBN-13: , eisbn: , eisbn-13: OPTIONAL: Student Solutions Manual has complete solutions to odd-numbered exercises. You will need a scientific calculator for this class. A calculator specifically designed for statistics, (such as the TI-30, TI-83, or TI-84) is nice to have but is not required. Tutoring: Free, drop-in tutoring is available in the Math Learning Center. Students are also encouraged to form study groups and work together. I'm not planning to cover homework questions during class, since there isn't time, but please don't hesitate to ask me about homework problems or other questions during my office hour, which is before and after class. The Math Learning Center is located on the Cabrillo College upper campus behind the Library in room Tutoring is also available in Watsonville. Attendance: You are expected to attend class regularly and you may be dropped if you do not. Please note that if you exceed four absences I have the right to drop you according to the school regulations. If you decide to drop the class, please go to the admissions office and let them know that you want to drop. Please do not assume that I will drop you. page 1 of 6

2 Grades: Your grade is based on the following: 25 classwork assignments (3 points each) 3 tests (100 points each) 4 homework assignments (10 points each) 2 Excel computer assignments (10 points each) 1 final (120 points-cumulative, with emphasis on chapters 11,12,13) points = A (90-100%) points = B (80-89%) points = C (70-79%) points = D (60-69%) below 333 points = F (below 60%) I will also calculate your percentage based on tests, homework, computer assignments and final (without the classwork). Your grade will be based on whichever of these two percentages is higher provided that you have completed the two computer assignments. Schedule: Please save the schedule that is attached to this sheet. No makeups on classwork assignments. There will be NO MAKEUP TESTS except on Tuesday December 6. On that day, you may either make up a test that you missed, or retake one test to try for a higher score. (Test 1, 2, or 3, your choice.) The score which is higher (original or makeup) is the one that is used to calculate your grade. Homework assignments are due on the day of the corresponding test. (late homework - half credit.) The last homework and Excel assignments are due on the day of the final, Tuesday December 13. Accommodations: Students with disabilities: Students needing accommodations should inform the instructor. As required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), accommodations are provided to insure equal access for students with verified disabilities. To determine if you qualify or need assistance with an accommodation, please contact ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORT CENTER (Formerly DSPS), Room 1073, (831) page 2 of 6

Statistical analysis using technology such as SPSS, EXCEL, Minitab, or graphing calculators 14. Topics from nonparametric statistics (optional) Assignments Out-of-class Assignments Regular homework assignments of text problems and computer or graphing calculator exercises will require independent study outside of class. In-class Assignments Students will have to analyze problems and use statistical procedures and principles to solve these problems. Students are expected to spend 5.00 hours in class and hours outside of class. Evaluation Typical classroom assessment techniques Projects Substantial writing assignments are not appropriate for this course. Students are assessed through problem-solving demonstrations, including homework problems, quizzes, and exams.
