The plan includes midterms, quizzes, homework, and labs that progressively advance from random variables and discrete/continuous distributions to covariance, the central limit theorem, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. The later weeks introduce sampling distributions, normal and related distributions, and regression with diagnostics, ending with a final comprehensive exam.","| Grade | A | A- | B+ | B | B- | C+ | C | D | F |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Percentage | 90% | 87% | 84% | 80% | 77% | 74% | 70% | 60% | 0% |\n| GPA | 4.0 | 3.67 | 3.33 | 3.0 | 2.67 | 2.33 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 |\n\n\n| Week | Topics | Assessments\u003Cbr>/ Activities | Textbook(s) & Chapters |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | Intro to R,\u003Cbr>Descriptive\u003Cbr>Statistics | Lab 1 | Thulin Ch. 1–3, Kerns Ch. 1–3 |  |\n| 2 | Exploratory Data\u003Cbr>Analysis (EDA),\u003Cbr>Basic Probability | HW 1, Quiz 1 | Thulin Ch. 2, Kerns Ch. 2 : Plots and Interpretation Pishro-Nik Ch. 1, Kerns Ch. 4, Pishro-Nik Ch.2 : Probability |  |\n| 3 | Basic Probability,\u003Cbr>and Counting | HW 2 | Pishro-Nik Ch. 1, Kerns Ch. 4 : Probability\u003Cbr>Pishro-Nik Ch.2 : Counting, |  |\n| 4 | Conditional Probability, Bayes’Rule | HW 3, Lab 2,\u003Cbr>Quiz 2 | Pishro-Nik Ch. 1 (esp. §1 .4), Kerns Ch. 4 |  |\n| 5 | Review + Midterm 1 Intro to Random Variables | HW 4,\u003Cbr>Midterm 1 | Mon:\u003Cbr>Wed:\u003Cbr>Frid: | Review Session (EDA, Descriptive Stats, Probability, Bayes)\u003Cbr>Midterm Exam 1\u003Cbr>Introduction to Random Variables (Discrete vs Continuous, notation preview) -Pishro-Nik Ch. 3– Pishro-Nik Ch. 4,  Kerns Ch. 5 |\n| 6 | Joint Distributions & Expectation, Covariance | HW 7 | Pishro-Nik Ch. 5, Kerns Ch. 7 |  |\n| 7 | Discrete Random\u003Cbr>Variables | HW 5, Quiz 3 | Pishro-Nik Ch. 3, Kerns Ch. 5 Uniform, Geometric, Binomial, Hypergeometric, and Poisson Distributions |  |\n| 8 | Continuous Random Variables | HW 6, Lab 3 | Pishro-Nik Ch. 4, Kerns Ch. 6 Uniform, Exponential, Gamma, Normal, Chi2, and T Distributions |  |\n| 9 | Review + Midterm 2 Central Limit Theorem | HW 9,\u003Cbr>Midterm 2 | Mon:\u003Cbr>Wed:\u003Cbr>Frid: | Review Session (RVs, Expected Value, Variance, Covariance)\u003Cbr>Midterm Exam 2\u003Cbr>Central Limit Theorem-Kerns Ch. 8 |\n| 10 | No Class |  | Enjoy your Spring Break !\"$&%\\# |  |\n| 11 | Normal\u003Cbr>Distribution,\u003Cbr>Sampling\u003Cbr>Distribution | HW 8, Quiz 4 | Pishro-Nik Ch. 4, Kerns Ch. 8 |  |\n| 12 | CLT, Confidence\u003Cbr>Intervals | HW 10, Lab 4 | Kerns Ch. 8¸Thulin Ch. 3, Kerns Ch. 9, Pishro-Nik Ch. 8 |  |\n| 13 | Hypothesis Testing | HW 11, Quiz 5 | Thulin Ch. 3, Kerns Ch. 9, Pishro-Nik Ch. 8 |  |\n| 14 | Review + Midterm 3 Intro to Regression | Midterm 3 | Mon:\u003Cbr>Wed:\u003Cbr>Frid: | Review Session (Sampling Distributions, CLT, Inference)\u003Cbr>Midterm Exam 2\u003Cbr>Introduction to Regression: Scatterplots, correlation,\u003Cbr>model overview-  Kerns Ch.11 |\n\n\n| 15 | Regression &\u003Cbr>Diagnostics | HW 12, Lab 5,\u003Cbr>Quiz 6 | Kerns Ch.11, Thulin Ch. 8 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 16 |  | Lab 6 | Mon: Review\u003Cbr>Wed, Fri: Reading Days |\n| 17 | Final\u003Cbr>Comprehensive\u003Cbr>Exam |  |  |\n\n\n| Lab | Title | Week | Description |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Lab 1 | Getting Started with R & EDA | Week 1 | Students practice importing data, creating basic plots (histograms, boxplots, scatterplots), and computing summary statistics.
