MATH 110 Module ALL MODULES (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10) Exam (Latest-2024) / MATH110 Introduction to
Statistics: Portage Learning
MATH 110 Introduction to Statistics 3 credits
July,
2025
Prerequisites: Algebra proficiency (high-school algebra 2 or a college equivalent)
,Faculty: Matthew Dodd, MS, Department Chair
H. Elaine Frey, MA
Laurie Key, MS
Nick Lagios, MS,
MBA Melissa Tweed,
MS Beth Zamboni,
PhD
Contact Information: Faculty may be contacted through the Canvas messaging system
Additional Information: www.portagelearning.edu1*
Course meeting times: MATH 110 is offered continuously
Course Description: A general introduction to mathematical statistics as a tool used in the
decision-making process. The course is designed to help students develop an understanding of
summarized data in both descriptive and inferential statistical applications through the use of
frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, probability
distributions, random sampling, interval estimation, hypothesis testing, comparisons involving
means, and regression analysis.
Course Outcomes: As a result of this course experience a student should be able to explain:
Describe basic concepts, terms, and goals of statistics.
Organize and employ descriptive statistics to present meaningful overviews of data
Develop and apply rules of counting methods and probability to determine outcomes in an
experiment.
Recognize the normal distribution and how to apply their properties to varying probability
distributions.
Apply statistical inference to randomly selected samples to make predictions
about underlying populations.
Apply inferential statistics including confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and Student's
t-distribution.
Describe and test the significance of relationships between 2 variables when
presented as ordered pairs.
Test hypotheses that involve three or more populations

Portage Learning college courses are offered by Geneva College, which is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher
Education and Bushnell University, which is accredited by Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The Faculty Senate of
both institutions have vetted and approved the courses as part of their curriculum. Scan to open on Studocu
, Each of these MATH 110 student learning outcomes is measured:
Directly by: (1) Module application problems (with instructor feedback)
(2)Module exams
(3)Adaptive Learning Exercises
(4)Cumulative final exam
Indirectly by an end of course student-completed evaluation survey
Course Delivery: This course is asynchronously delivered online. Contact hours include 40 - 50
hours of reviewed module assignments with instructor feedback. There are 15 additional contact
hours composed of secure online exams.
Course Progression: It is the policy for all Portage Learning courses that only one (module/final)
exam is to be completed within a 48-hour period. Research on the best practices in learning
indicates that time is needed to process material for optimal learning. This means that once an
exam has been completed, the next exam may not be opened or taken until 48 hours after the
submission of the previous module exam. This allows for instructor feedback/class expectations
as the student moves through the material. Instructors, like the College, are not available during
the weekend; grading, therefore, is M-F and may take up to 72 hours during these days. Also, it
is the policy of Portage Learning to support a minimum of 28 days to complete a course; this is
not a negotiable time period. Please plan your time accordingly.
Note: Professors reserve the right to reset any exam taken in violation of these
guidelines.
Required readings, lectures and assignments: Portage courses do not use paper textbooks.
Students are required to read the online lesson modules written by the course author which
contain the standard information covered in a typical course. Please note the exam questions
are based upon the readings. Video lectures which support each lesson module subject should
be viewed as many times as is necessary to fully understand the material.
We do not support the use of outside resources to study, except for the ones listed in the syllabus under
“Suggested External References”. If you have questions about the material or would like further
explanation of the concepts, please contact your instructor.
Module Problem Sets: The practice problems within the modules are a part of your final grade,
and the module work will be reviewed for completeness (not correctness) by the instructor. Be
sure to answer all of the problems, being careful to answer the questions in your own words at all
