This course is for Chemical Technology students. The course introduces students to exponents, radicals, fractions and factoring manipulations, exponential and logarithmic functions, graphs, quadratic equations, plane analytic geometry, approximating measured values, unit conversions, and systems of linear equations. The course continues with fundamentals of statistics where topics include: solving problems using measures of central tendency and dispersion, linear regression, calculating probabilities using normal and sampling distributions of the mean and proportion, and solving problems using hypothesis tests to infer means and their differences. The lab portion of this course introduces the student to fundamentals and statistical applications of Microsoft Excel. Upon completion of the lab portion of this course, students will be able to use Excel to create and manipulate drawn objects and formulae in spreadsheets, perform charting and regression analysis, and use macros in spreadsheets.
