You are a Social or Behavioral Science or related major and your high school GPA was 2.9 or less. Is this correct? If not restart the math self-placement.
Your recommendation is to take Math V44 Elementary Statistics AND Math V44J Just-in-Time Support for Elementary Statistics
OR
PSY V04 Introductory Statistics for the Social and Behavioral Sciences AND PSY V04S Introductory Statistics for the Social and Behavioral Sciences Discussion Session.
Support is required if your high school GPA was less than 2.3 and it is recommended if your high school GPA was between 2.4 and 2.9.
You have been provided this result as it has been determined that you will need a little extra support in your Math class in order to successfully complete the main course Math V44 in the same semester. You may also take PSY V04 and PSY V04S, the discussion session which will give you a better understanding of concepts in PSY V04. However, depending on what math classes you have taken in high school, you may be able to start in a higher math class. Please check with an Academic Counselor to verify that this is the correct math class for you. Your major may also require you to take additional math classes.
The catalog course descriptions for Math V44, Math V44J, PSY V04 and PSY V04S are given below:
MATH V44 - ELEMENTARY STATISTICS
4 Units
C-ID: MATH 110
Hours: 4 lecture weekly
This course introduces the use of probability techniques, hypothesis testing, and predictive techniques to facilitate decision-making useful to students in areas such as business, economics, life science, social science, health science, and education. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability and sampling distributions; statistical inference; correlation and linear regression; analysis of variance, chi-square, and t-tests; hypothesis testing; and the use of technology for statistical analysis, including the interpretation of the relevance of the statistical findings. This course also provides supervised computer practice designed to assist students in calculations required in introductory statistics.
Formerly Math 44. Transfer credit: CSU; UC; credit limitations - see counselor.
MATH V44J - JUST-IN-TIME SUPPORT FOR ELEMENTARY STATISTICS
2 Units
Corequisite: MATH V44
Hours: 2 lecture weekly
This course provides just-in-time support and review for transfer-level Statistics. Math V44J is intended for students who are concurrently enrolled in Math V44. Topics include learning skills and just-in-time support for concepts from arithmetic, pre-algebra, elementary and intermediate algebra, and descriptive statistics that are needed to understand the basics of college-level statistics. Recommended for students with little or no recent knowledge of algebra.
Offered on a pass/no pass basis only. Not applicable for degree credit.
PSY V04 - INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FOR THE SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
4 Units
Recommended Preparation: ENGL V01A
C-ID: SOCI 125
Hours: 4 lecture weekly
An introduction to the basic concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics which provides conceptual understanding of the applications of statistics in research, as well as in the social sciences and the related fields of business, education and health care. Areas of study include: descriptive procedures; probability and binomial distributions; correlation and regression; normal distribution; sampling distribution; central limit theorem; hypothesis testing using interval estimation, z-test, significance testing of correlations, one-and two-sample t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square, and other nonparametric techniques; and critical analyses of research designs. This course also provides supervised computer practice designed to assist students in data preparation including tables and graphical representations, statistical computations, and data analysis. Students will interpret computerized results and apply them in generating conclusions.
Formerly Psych 4. Transfer credit: CSU; UC; credit limitations - see counselor.
PSY V04S - INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FOR THE SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES DISCUSSION SESSION
1 Unit
Corequisite: PSY V04
Hours: 1 lecture weekly
This course is a discussion session to be taken concurrently with introductory statistics for the social and behavioral sciences. It provides an opportunity for better understanding of concepts learned in introductory statistics through additional practice and discussion of statistical procedures and their applications to research and hypothesis testing.
Formerly Psych 4S. Offered on a pass/no pass basis only. Not applicable for degree
credit.
