(4 credits) (NWCore option under Quantitative Reasoning)
This course covers the statistical concepts and methodology commonly used in the biological and health sciences. We will start with examining basic descriptive methods in statistics. We will then introduce the foundational concepts in probability. After these topics are explored, we will spend the remainder of the course looking at the uses and interpretation of statistics. Topics will include confidence intervals and hypothesis tests involving one or two samples, correlation and regression, contingency tables, and ANOVA.

Note: Meets four times per week. Students may receive credit for only one course among MAT116QR, MAT117QR and MAT208QR.

Prerequisite: C- or better in MAT090, an ACT math score of 20 or above (SAT 510 or above), or a passing score on MAT090 placement exam.
