MATH 0980 Math Skills for Statistics

This course is taught concurrently with MATH 1080 Introduction to Statistics and is designed to support students in completing the topics covered in both beginning algebra and college-level introductory statistics in one semester.  MATH 1080 (4 credits) and the corequisite MATH 0980 (2 credits) are useful to students whose academic program is satisfied by an introductory statistics course, and MATH 0980 allows those students who are not eligible for MATH 1080 Statistics to complete a college-level statistics course in 1 semester.  Math Skills for Statistics covers converting among fraction, decimal, and percent equivalencies; addition and subtraction of decimal numbers; rounding decimal numbers accurately; order and equivalence of rational numbers; understanding inequality symbols; understanding scientific notation; an introduction to probability; necessary topics from beginning algebra; and student success skills.  Students must complete MATH 0980 and MATH 1080 concurrently.
