in education, social science, and natural
science as well as in mathematics. Topics to be
discussed will include measures of central tendencies,
probability, estimations and predictions,
variance and correlation. May be counted
toward a mathematics major or minor only by
students seeking teacher certification in mathematics
or by students who are minoring in
