STATISTICS (STAT)
All STAT/MATH/OPRS
courses offered by the Department of Mathematics are approved to satisfy
requirements for the Problem Solving (P) Goal of UNC
STAT 1220. Elements of Statistics I
(BUSN). (3) Prerequisite: MATH 1100
or placement by the Department. Noncalculus based introduction to data
summarization, discrete and continuous random variables (e.g., binomial,
normal), sampling, central limit theorem, estimation, testing hypotheses, and
linear regression. Applications of theory will be drawn from areas related to
business. May not be taken for credit if credit has been
received for STAT 1221 or 1222. (Fall,
Spring, Summer) (Evenings)
STAT 1221. Elements of Statistics I
(BIOL). (3) Prerequisite: MATH 1100
or placement by the Department. Same topics as STAT 1220 with
special emphasis on applications to the life sciences. May not be taken for credit if credit has been received for STAT
1220 or 1222. (Fall, Spring)
STAT 1222. Introduction to
Statistics. (3) Prerequisite: MATH
1100 or placement by the Department. Same topics as STAT 1220
with special emphasis on applications to the social and behavioral sciences.
May not be taken for credit if credit has been received for
STAT 1220 or 1221. (Fall, Spring, Summer) (Evenings)
STAT 1223. Elements of Statistics II.
(3) Prerequisite: STAT 1220, 1221, or
1222. A continuation of STAT 1220 or 1221 or 1222.
Topics include contingency analysis, design of experiments, more on simple
linear regression, and multiple regression. Computers
will be used to solve some of the problems. (Fall)
(On demand)
STAT 2122. Introduction to Probability and Statistics. (3) Prerequisite: MATH 1242 or consent of the Department. A
study of probability models, discrete and continuous random variables,
inference about Bernoulli probability, inference about population mean,
inference about population variance, the maximum likelihood principle, the
minimax principle, Bayes procedures, and linear models. (Fall, Spring, Summer) (Evenings)
STAT 3122. Probability and
STAT 3123. Probability and Statistics
II. (3) Same as MATH 3123. (Spring) (Evenings)
STAT 3126. Applied Statistical Methods. (3) Prerequisites: MATH 3123 or consent of the Department. Regression analysis, time
series analysis, and forecasting.
Survival models and their estimation. (Fall)
STAT 3128. Probability and Statistics
for Engineers. (3) Prerequisite: MATH
2241. An introduction to: probability
theory; discrete and continuous random variables and their probability distributions;
joint probability distributions; functions of random variables and their
probability distributions; descriptive statistics; point and interval
estimation; one and two sample hypothesis testing; quality control; one and two
factor ANOVA; and regression. Credit
will not be given for both STAT 3128 and any of one of the courses: STAT 2122,
MATH 3125, MATH/STAT 3122/3123.
