David'R. Anderson, Dennis J.Sweeney and Thomas A. Williams. South-Western College Publishing, 2002.ISBN# 0-324-06672-4 (hardcover) —REQUIRED—Statistics for Business and Economics (WORKBOOK). 8,h ed. David R.Anderson, Dennis J. Sweeney and Thomas A. Williams. Prepared by Mohammad Ahmadi.South-Western College Publishing, 2002. ISBN# 0-324-06898-7 (paperback)—OPTIONAL, but recommended—RATIONALE: The rationale for this course is to provide upper level undergraduates andgraduate students with a working knowledge of the quantitative techniques necessary to collect,present, and statistically analyze data; common to a second semester course in statistics.Understanding of these techniques will provide the student the knowledge necessary toefficiently apply them in the business, industrial, or governmental environment.INSTRUCTIONAL MODALITY(IES): The mode of instruction will include lecture, topicaldiscussion, in-class examination of case studies, and the use of a PC based statistical computerprogram for analysis and graphic presentation.V.iP^VEXPECTED STUDENT OUTCOMES:1. The student will become familiar with the history of statistical analysis, and importantindividuals in the field.2. Understanding the concepts of statistical inference inclusive of hypothesis testing, p-values,type I and II errors, inferences about the differences between the means of two populations, andthe variances of two populations.3. Knowledge of multivariate techniques; analysis of variance, chi-square, simple correlation,regression analysis and diagnostics, familiarity with other techniques under the rubric of generallinear models.4. Knowledge of advanced analytical techniques such as regression model building and fittingequations to data, non-parametric data analysis, and forecasting models.5. Working knowledge of PC based statistical software, primarily Minitabtm. Data analysismodules in some of the popular spreadsheets, e.g., Excel*" and Quattro Pro"" will be discussed.TOPICAL OUTLINE/COURSE CONTENT:8/30/01 1 Statistical Inference about Means and Proportions(Chapter 10)9/6/01 2 Inferences about Population Variances(Chapter 11)9/13/01 3 Goodness of Fit and Independence(Chapter 12)9/20/01 4 **TEST#1**10/4/01 5 Analysis of Variance and Experimental Design(Chapter 13)10/11/01 6 Analysis of Variance and Experimental Design (continued)(Chapter 13)10/18/01 7 Simple Linear Regression(Chapter 14)10/25/01 8 Simple Linear Regression (continued)(Chapter 14)11/1/01 9 "TEST #2**11/8/01 10 Multiple Regression(Chapter 15)11/15/01 11 Regression Analysis: Model Building(Chapter 16)11/22/01 12 Thanksgiving Holiday - No Class11/29/01 13 Nonparametric Methods(Chapter 19)12/6/01 14 **TEST#3**EVALUATION OF LEARNING OUTCOMES:Weights:Homework - 25%Case Studies-10%Tests (20% each) - 60%Papers - 5%Homework:Homework is due the class session after it is assigned. Late homework is NOT accepted. Priornotice of a medical situation or similar critical extenuating circumstance will be considered on acase by case basis. Homework must be LEGIBLE, complete, and easily identified, (e.g.,student, chapter, problem, etc.) or credit cannot be given. In situations where collaboration tookplace (encouraged) please be sure that the result was your own, and not merely copied. ALLappropriate calculations must be shown to receive credit for the problem.Tests:As listed, the three tests that will be given during the term cover roughly one-third of the materialto be presented during the semester. There is no "cumulative" examination, or "final". However,the knowledge, skills, and abilities learned build upon each other as one proceeds through thecourse. The test material will be problems and definitions from the textbook, similar to that ofthe homework assigned. Unless otherwise informed, the entire class session will be devoted tothe exam.Papers:Two biographical papers on assigned statisticians are required. The papers must be at leastone and one half pages long, and must use at least two sources. It must follow acceptablewriting style formats: MLA, Turabian, etc. It is encouraged that students make copies of thepapers to share with other students in order to learn about the work of a number of thesehistorical figures. Verbatim copies of Internet information on a subject will NOT be accepted.GENERAL EDUCATION ISSUES: It has often been said that numbers are the fundamentallanguage of business. Taking this postulation to its' next logical step, one could then say thatthe ability to effectively collect, interpret, and analyze numbers would mark ones' ability toeffectively communicate in the worldwide language of business. Such is the nature of thiscourse. Part of understanding a body of work lies in the understanding of its' history. Though acursory evaluation, the written biographies serve to acquaint the student withsome of "worldlyphilosophers" in the field of statistics. Lectures serve to introduce and provide in depthexplanation of the subject matter, such that textbook study provides reinforcement andassistance to the overall learning process. Topical discussions and class participation are criticalin fully understanding the practical applications of many of the statistical techniques, and/oranalyzing how the student may have seen them used in "real world" situations. This can also besaid for the examination and analysis of the many pertinent case-study scenarios elucidated inthe textbook. Finally, practical "hands on" experience with computer applications to solveproblems serves to provide knowledge of an additional medium to quickly and efficiently analyzedata that is being used in the classroom, and in the workplace.SYLLABUS STATEMENT FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: It is the intention of theinstitution to support full participation of all students, regardless of physical ability level.Therefore, if any student needs consideration of his/her physical abilities in order to completethe course, please notify the instructor as soon as possible.HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTSSTAT 362, SECTION BA. RiLEY, FALL 2001The following lists the homework assignments and computer case studies required for the term.The homework is due the class after the material is presented, unless other instructions are given.When appropriate, it will be expected that all work will be shown when completing a problem. Latehomework will not be accepted, unless there is an extenuating circumstance which prevented its'completion. Many of the problems will involve the use of the computer. The Minitab and Excel programswill facilitate the completion of these problems. Working in groups could be of benefit for some of theseproblems and exercises.Though it would be advantageous and highly encouraged to complete during the chapter inwhich they appear, case studies only involving computer use will be accepted two weeks afterassignment.CHAPTER10CLASS SESSION1PROBLEMS1,11,18,23CASE STUDIES11 2 1,6,18,1912**test#1**341,6,23,35 BIPARTISAN p479 (7thed.) p473 (8th ed)13 5•2,16,19 "Bipartisan due13 6 40,43,45 CASE #214 7 2,11,1814 8 23,39,51 Chap. 13 Case 2 due CASE#1**test#2** 915 10 9,15, 21,34,40 Chap 14 Case 1 due CASE#116 11 4,18,22,3519 13 1,17,25,38 Chap. 15 Case 1 due**test#3** 14
