MAT 0450 Introductory Statistics Booster
This course is taken in conjunction with MAT 1450, Introductory Statistics. This course reviews prerequisite concepts for the topics in MAT 1450. Each prerequisite concept is covered in this course just prior to being needed in MAT 1450. Topics covered include: use of summation notation, solving equations and inequalities with square roots, and extracting information from tables and graphs. Two lab hours per week. Note: Courses that begin with a zero are developmental in nature. Credit earned in developmental courses will not apply to the overall program hours.
