Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

Statistics describe and summarize data, and make predictions about a population from the information contained in samples. This course provides a working understanding of the elementary statistical techniques and computational procedures for students with little background in mathematics, and focuses on the applications of these tools to the analyses of geographical and environmental data. Topics include scales of measurement, univariate descriptive statistics, time series analysis, probability, sampling design, hypothesis testing, regression and correlation analysis, and models as quantitative techniques.

Requisite courses

Any 3 credits of 1000 level Geography courses or permission of the instructor [prerequisite(s)]; GEOG-2309L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).

Restrictions

Students may not hold credit for this course and GEOG-2310.
