1

• Producing good data through sampling and
  experimentation
• question to be answered - what variables will be
  measured? organize!
• types of variables measured categorical
  continuous
• simple random sampling (SRS)
• completely randomized experimental design
• matched pairs
• Descriptive analysis
• graphical and numerical methods for single
  variables (univariate analysis) - shape, center,
  spread
• graphical and numerical methods for bivariate
  relationships categorical vs. categorical
  categorical vs. continuous continuous vs.
  continuous

2

• Transition to inferential statistics through
  probability
• general introduction to probability including
  simple and, or, and not rules relative frequency
  interpretation
• sampling distributions for counts proportions
  and for means
• important distributions include uniform,
  binomial, normal, t, and chi-square
• Inferential statistics include confidence
  interval estimation and hypothesis testing.
• Confidence intervals
• for p for m for md for m1 - m2

• Hypothesis testing
• for m for md for m1 - m2?? for association
• Don't forget your "formula sheet" for the exam -
  must be turned in with the exam.
• Do as many of the assigned homework problems you
  can do before the exam
• Review old tests and quizzes
• Online, look at the videos and do the chapter
  quizzes
• Read the book look for the "boxes" and review
  the chapter summaries
