MATH 11 - Support Topics for Elementary Statistics

The following are the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) and Course Measurable Objectives (CMOs) for MATH 11. A Student Learning Outcome is a measurable outcome statement about what a student will think, know, or be able to do as a result of an educational experience. Course Measurable Objectives focus more on course content, and can be considered to be smaller pieces that build up to the SLOs.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)

1. Students feel that Math 11 has improved their overall mathematical understanding and ability in Math 110. (measured by survey provided by corequisite committee)
2. Math 11 students will be able to interpret slope and y-intercept of a linear function in context with a word problem such as the application of a regression line.
3. Math 11 students will be able to compute and understand area in relation to probabilities.
4. Math 11 students will be able to use critical thinking to write conclusions regarding statistical studies.

Course Measurable Objectives (CMOs)

1. Convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages.
2. Apply rules for rounding and significant digits.
3. Graph and appropriately interpret a data set.
4. Interpret slope and y-intercept of a linear function in context with a word problem.
5. Calculate the mean, median, and mode from a data set.
6. Use calculators and technology for descriptive statistics and probability calculations.
7. Apply correct calculations and notation for inequality statements.
8. Compute and understand area in relation to probabilities.
9. Evaluate statistical formulas.
10. Use critical thinking to write conclusions regarding statistical studies.
11. Communicate effectively in mathematical language.
