MAT 035 - Pre-Statistics

2 equivalent hours - Two hours weekly; one term.
Study foundational algebraic and numeric topics essential in preparing students for Statistics (MAT 135) including quantitative relationships, algebraic reasoning, functional reasoning, and probabilistic and statistical reasoning. Incorporate problem-solving skills, quantitative communication skills, and the use of technology.

Prerequisite(s): Achieve an appropriate score on the Mathematics Placement Test, or completion of MAT 011 with a grade of at least C, or successful completion of an approved mathematics preparation course.

Note: MAT 035 and MAT 135 or MAT 135H may be taken in the same semester. A grade of at least C in MAT 035 is required to start MAT 135 . Either MAT 034 or MAT 035 serves as a prerequisite for MAT 135 or MAT 135H . Students should enroll in only one of MAT 034 or MAT 035. Typically offered at MC, AM, and OL; fall, spring, and summer terms.

Course Outcomes:

Perform basic algebraic operations on real numbers.
Use linear equations and models in slope-intercept form.
Apply basic probability theory to solve problems.
Create graphs by organizing data and computing descriptive statistics.
Interpret graphs displaying descriptive statistics.
Use technology to enter, display, and analyze data.
