Math 113 - Introduction to Applied Statistics

Canvas [Login required]: Canvas is the Learning Management System used by the course. We do not use Angel. Use your Richland NetID and password to login.
Interactive Questioning: This is the instructor's Question Press site. We will be using it to provide interactive feedback and assessment throughout the semester.
Statistics Notes [Login required]: There is no required textbook for this class. Instead, the instructor has written notes for the different topics. You must be registered for the class in order to view these notes.
Probability Distribution Calculator: This calculator will find critical values or areas for the standard normal, t, chi-square, and F distributions.
Basic Statistical Tests [PDF version of Basic Statistical Tests]: This is a one-page cheat sheet of the parametric hypothesis tests used in this class.
Course Syllabus [PDF version of syllabus]: The course syllabus. There is also a shortened version [PDF] containing the highlights from the syllabus.
Grading: An explanation of how the grading will work in this course.
Mathematical Software: Find links to some of the software that is available to use as a Richland student. You must be a current student to view this page as some of the software is licensed only for our students.
Statistical Demonstrations: This is a collection of websites that demonstrate statistical concepts. We will use some of these at different points during the semester.
Skills Needed [PDF only]: This is a document that explains the skills and proficiences that you need coming into this course to be successful. If you don't have these skills then please talk to the instructor about the best course of action or additional resources to help bring yourself up to speed.
Minitab Quick Reference Guide [PDF version of Minitab Guide]: This is a quick guide to the Minitab commands we'll use and they unit where they'll be introduced.
Information about Instructor: Information including office hours, education, interests, etc.

Miscellaneous Material

Statistical Tables [PDF]: In the old days, we used to use tables instead of the probability calculator. These are here for historical purposes and because other people on the Internet still use them.
Video Series: There is a video tape series that presents much of the material we will be covering in an exciting, sometimes eccentric, manner. You may wish to watch these as a means of reinforcing what you've heard in class or read in your book. The video tapes are a summary of the course, they are not geared to your textbook.
Simulation: This is a project I wrote for an ICTCM short course in May 2002. It explains the different kinds of simulation and allows you to perform some simulations online. This simulation requires MS Internet Explorer. The Javascript will not work with Netscape Navigator.
Hypothesis Testing Assessment: This page contains Flash animations to help you review the Hypothesis testing material. There are 30 definitions and 60 multiple choice questions available.
Analysis of Variance: This is a project I wrote for an ICTCM short course in August 2004. It explains the different types of ANOVA and allows offers different assessment techniques to help you learn and understand them.

Other Resources

The following resources are either out of date or not maintained and so you may not find them as useful as the links above.

Lecture Notes: These online lecture notes were written for an older edition of Triola's Elementary Statistics textbook and the chapter numbers will not match those with our current textbook. The link here is provided mainly as a reference.
TI-82 / TI-83 Programs and Instructions: Instructions for using the TI-82 or TI-83 graphing calculator with statistics. We no longer emphasize the graphing calculator, so this link isn't recommended.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Statistics Website: This is a link to author's website although the site mainly contains corrections to the first edition of the book so you may not find it that useful.
