MATH 17

About this course

This is the second quarter of two in the Statway sequence. This sequence covers concepts and methods of statistics with an emphasis on data analysis. Sequence topics include methods for collecting data, graphical and numerical descriptive statistics, correlation, simple linear regression, basic concepts of probability, probability distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests for means and proportions, chi-square tests, and ANOVA. The course introduces students to applications in engineering, business, economics, medicine, education, the sciences, and those pertaining to issues of contemporary interest. Where appropriate, the contributions to the development of statistics by men and women from diverse cultures will be introduced. This sequence is recommended for students with majors that require no mathematics beyond freshman-level statistics. It is not appropriate for students with majors in math, science, computer science or business, nor for students desiring to attend private universities.

No section is scheduled at De Anza College for Fall 2026. The course can still be offered in a later quarter.
