- **Advisory:** ENGL-C1000 (Formerly ENGL-01A)
- **Formerly:** MATH-10
- **C-ID:** MATH 110
- **Transfers to:** CSU, UC
- **Offered:** Fall 2026, 32 sections (/c/merced-college/schedule/fall-2026/stat.md); Spring 2027, 23 sections (/c/merced-college/schedule/spring-2027/stat.md)
- (Cal-GETC area 2)
- (CSU breadth area B4) (IGETC area 2) [CSU-GE and IGETC are only for 2024-25 catalogs or earlier]

This course is an introduction to statistical thinking and processes, including methods and concepts for discovery and decision-making using data. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability and sampling distributions; statistical inference; correlation and linear regression; analysis of variance, chi-squared, and t-tests; and application of technology for statistical analysis including the interpretation of the relevance of the statistical findings. Students apply methods and processes to applications using data from a broad range of disciplines. (11/24)
