All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the NJIT Honor code very seriously and enforces it strictly. This means there must not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e., copying of homework, class projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in quizzes and exams. Under the Honor Code, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.

2. Textbook: Introduction to the Practice of Statistics (Extended
Version) by David
3. Prerequisites: Math 112
4.
Course
Description: Role and purpose of
applied statistics. Data visualization and use of statistical software used in
course. Descriptive statistics, summary measures for quantitative and
qualitative data, data displays. Modeling random behavior: elementary
probability and some simple probability distribution models. Normal
distribution. Computational statistical inference: confidence intervals and
tests for means, variances, and proportions. Linear regression analysis and
inference. Control charts for statistical quality control. Introduction to
design of experiments and ANOVA, simple factorial design and their analysis.
5.
Software: Excel or SAS
version 9.1/9.2 will be used for the course, etc. You can use SAS at several
NJIT computer labs or obtain your personal copy from NJIT Library/Website.
6. Grading Policy: The final grade in this course will be determined as
follows:
|
± Homework
and Quizzes: |
25%* There will be 13 homework plus quizzes. |
|
± Midterm Exam: |
35% |
|
± Final Exam: |
40% |
Please note that the University Drop Date March 26, 2013
deadline will be strictly enforced.
7.
Homework Policy: Homework or Quiz will be assigned roughly every week.
Late homework will not be accepted. The lowest three homework or quiz scores
will be dropped out of the 13.
8. Exams: There will be one midterm and one final exam (see
course outline). All exams will be closed-book. No make-up exams are allowed in
case of extenuating circumstances with legitimate
and verifiable excuse, scores will be imputed. Calculators are allowed
but should be basic and without graphing capabilities.
9. Honor Code: http://integrity.njit.edu/.
Attendance and Participation: Students must attend all classes. Absences from class will inhibit your ability to fully participate in class discussions and problem solving sessions and, therefore, affect your grade. Tardiness to class is very disruptive to the instructor and students and will not be tolerated.
Makeup Exam Policy: There will be no makeup exams, except in rare situations where the student has a legitimate reason for missing an exam, including illness, death in the family, accident, requirement to appear in court, etc. The student must notify the Math office and the Instructor that he/she will miss an exam. In all cases, the student must present proof for missing the exam, e.g., a doctor's note, police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND times.
Cellular Phones: All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
1. No assignments, homework, exams
will be accepted late.
2. No eating allowed during the
class or exams.
3. Wandering in and out of the
classroom is not allowed.
4. Use of Laptops/computer devices, etc., are not allowed (unless student shows the above textbook online to the instructor at the beginning of class), when the instructor is lecturing.
