PREREQUISITES: BUSN 230 - Business Statistics  
PREREQUISITES/COREQUISITE: MATH 201 - Brief Calculus I  

PROGRAM: Business Administration
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2005

Focuses on Chi-Square applications, linear regression, multiple regression, and an analysis of variance. Students will be expected to apply a statistical package to topical applications.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine whether the variances of two populations are equal.
  2. Construct and interpret an ANOVA table.
  3. Conduct a test of hypothesis among three or more treatment means.
  4. Develop confidence intervals for the difference in treatment means.
  5. Calculate and interpret the coefficient of determination, the standard error of the estimate (simple and multiple), confidence intervals, and prediction intervals.
  6. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine whether the coefficient of correlation in the population is zero.
  7. Describe the relationship between independent and dependent variables in linear regression and multiple regression equations.
  8. Conduct a test of hypothesis on each of the coefficients in multiple regression models.
  9. List the characteristics of the chi-square distribution.
  10. Conduct a test of hypothesis comparing an observed set of frequencies to an expected distribution.
