All Students should be aware that the
Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the NJIT Honor Code very seriously
and enforces it strictly. This means that 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.

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.
Departmental Policies:
Attendance: 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.
