DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES

STAB22: Statistics I, Fall 2021

Course Description:

Statistics is the science of collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data. Statistical reasoning is an essential skill in a variety of fields including business and finance, economics, social sciences, natural sciences and more. In this course, we will learn about some of the most important techniques used in descriptive statistical analysis and other simple yet key statistical concepts.

The course will be useful to students who seek to gain an understanding of the use of statistics in their field. Our ultimate goal is to gain understanding from data, going from data collection to analysis to conclusions.

Content, emphasis, etc. of the course is defined utilizing the lecture material - not only the textbook. It is important to attend all lectures. Most of the lecture examples will be demonstrated in R statistical software with Rcmdr package. It is recommended to install these, but it is not mandatory. No mathematics prerequisites are assumed and required beyond the secondary school level to take this course.

For Lec61 students, you must watch the WebOption video within 24 hours of the lecture video being posted (Instructors can tell who watched the video).

Software:

Instructors will be using R statistical software with the “Rcmdr” package (R commander) for simple statistical computing and data visualization. No previous computing experience is assumed. R is free and can be downloaded from http://probability.ca/cran. A step-by-step installation instruction to install “Rcmdr” package will be available in Quercus. It is recommended to install, but not mandatory.

Quizzical:

Quizzical (https://quizzical.ca/) is an online tool for writing and testing multiple-choice questions which is created by UTSC Biology professor, Dan Riggs. You will be assigned to write your own multiple choice questions based on lecture material. The question will be evaluated by TAs and will be added to the quiz bank if it is deemed adequate. You can access this bank at any time to test yourself and prep for exams and quizzes. 10% of the exam questions will be selected from the quiz pool.

Course Policies:

● Guidelines for communicating with course instructor

○ Do not email the instructor with questions on lecture and/or tutorial materials. Post your questions on Quercus Piazza under the correct lecture week thread. The instructors and TAs will periodically answer postings. You can also ask questions during the scheduled instructor and TA’s weekly office hours.

○ Contact the instructor via email if you request additional assistance including but not limit to missed tests, missed quizzes, circumstance for late submission etc. When communicating with the course instructor and TA via email please include “STAB22” in the subject line and include your full name and student number somewhere in the email.

● There is NO make-up test or quizzes.

○ The best 5 quizzes out of 6 will be calculated. Once your tutorial is assigned (and after the deadline to switch the tutorial is over), the system will not allow you to take a quiz and submit the lab report in different tutorials.
