Catalog DescriptionIS 310. Business Statistics I - Prerequisite: STAT 118 and Completion of GE Foundation and atleast one GE Explorations course. Applications of statistics to business decision makingproblems. Data collection and organization, probability theory, measures of central tendency anddispersion, hypothesis testing and estimation, simple regression, and correlation. Use ofstatistical software.Letter grade only (A-F)III. Curriculum Justification(s)Statistical analysis is an integral part of business decision making. While business experience,thoughtful guesswork, and intuition are key attributes of successful managers, real world businessproblems are too complex for this type of decision making alone. This course is designed toensure that students are equipped with the tools and techniques of basic statistics--what it is, howand when to apply statistical techniques to decision-making situations, and how to interpret theresults attained. At the conclusion of the course, students should be familiar with the function ofsampling, probability distributions, t-statistics, z statistics, hypothesis testing about means,proportions, variances, and central tendency and dispersion measures. Emphasis also will beplaced upon the use of Spreadsheet-based statistical software packages (MS Excel in particularand Excel-based Add-ins tools) as a means for data analysis and interpretation; however, studentsshould become familiar with the necessary rigor involved in calculations prior to using softwaretools so that interpretation is properly understood. This course fulfills the requirements of a GE Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning (B2)Area in several important ways. The discipline of business decision making based on statisticaltools brings together all of the key elements of Quantitative Reasoning and essential higherlevel achievements within Business decision making. At its core, the subject of BusinessStatistics requires students to analyze, understand, and discuss principles, concepts, andapplication of statistics in business. Additionally, students learn how to compute variousmeasures of location, dispersion, shape, and their applications in various types of data sets.IS 310 - Standard Course Outline - Coordinator: K.

(12)Because of variance in the speed with which different groups of students gain appropriateconceptual and practical understanding of the statistical concepts, the above Outline of SubjectMatter does not specify the week during which each subject will be covered. In order to providethe instructor with the flexibility to meet the needs of each particular class, it may be necessaryfor an instructor to slow down or speed up coverage of specific subjects.However, this course is the only required statistics course for business students. Hence, studentsdo not have another opportunity to get exposed to these important topics should any of them beomitted. The instructor of this course is highly encouraged to plan for an effective and efficientcoverage of all bulleted items above. In the event that he/she is unable to do so within thecourse of a semester, the underlined topics may be omitted.VI. Methods of InstructionTraditional: The preferred method of instruction for this course is lecture based. Depending onthe individual instructors, opportunities for class discussion, group work, and studentpresentations may be considered. Students should be encouraged to form study groups andcollaborate on the use of technology, understanding of lecture contents, and solution strategy andtechniques to recommended exercises. Since business statistics is a quantitative subject in natureand requires certain level of analytical ability and mathematical skills, working through problemsand exercises in a step-by-step manner would help students in better understanding of the subjectthan displaying the problem and its solution via PowerPoint presentation alone. Using acombination of lecture, slide presentations, and hands-on exercises is strongly recommended.Students should be encouraged to regularly participate in discussions and actively engagein practicing their critical thinking and quantitative skills through exercises and discussions.Extent and Nature of Technology UseThe use of technology will depend on individual instructors. However, familiarity withSpreadsheet, MS Excel, is assumed and emphasized. Additionally, the use of technology shouldinclude BeachBoard, and the development of familiarity with web resources specific to thecourse. It may also include assignments that involve the evaluation of web materials on thesubjects. Students may be made familiar, if they are not already, with relevant search databasesin the library.Required TextsSince this course is offered in multiple sections, for conformity and consistency across allsections, it is highly recommended, but not mandated, that all sections of the course use a unifiedtextbook designated by the course coordinator with consultation of the qualified departmentfaculty and herein referred to as required textbook:David R. Anderson, Dennis J. Sweeney, Thomas A. Williams, Jeffrey D. Camm. James J.Cochran, Statistics for Business and Economics, CENGAGE Learning Publishing, ISBN10:1305585313, ISBN-13: 9781305585317 (Hardcover edition) or ISBN: 9781337694063(CSULB customized paperback edition).Instructors will be asked to justify the use of a different textbook, if different from the requiredtext above, or utilizing an older text, if updated texts are available.IS 310 - Standard Course Outline - Coordinator: K.
