About this course

Understanding Principles of Statistics for your SUNY Empire credit.

What is Principles of Statistics?

Principles of Statistics is an introduction to how people collect, summarize, and interpret data. It covers the basic ideas behind surveys and experiments, how to read graphs and tables, and how to use probability to make sense of uncertainty. Students also learn how to work with common distributions, confidence intervals, and sample sizes.

How the course teaches you

Principles of Statistics is a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted at 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam. When you finish, the transcript can be sent to SUNY Empire State University, where it is recognized as BUSN 2010 + Gen Ed: Mathematics.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical skills in reading data, using Excel for calculations and charts, and judging whether information is reliable enough to support a decision. At SUNY Empire, that credit can fit into programs such as an Associate Degree or a Bachelor of Science, where mathematics and business-related analysis may support later coursework and degree progress.

Skills you walk away with

Identify data types and choose appropriate statistical methodsSummarize data with measures of center and spreadCreate and interpret graphs for exploratory data analysisWork with probability rules and common distributionsUse normal distribution and z-scoresInterpret confidence intervals and estimate sample sizeAnalyze data in Excel and present results clearly

Taking this course toward SUNY Empire

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and SUNY Empire State University applies the verified equivalency on a course-by-course basis. For this course, that means the registrar recognizes it as BUSN 2010 + Gen Ed: Mathematics, using the published SUNY evaluation. That named recognition matters because it places the credit into a specific course and gen ed category in your SUNY Empire degree plan, rather than leaving it as a generic elective. SUNY Empire allows up to 93 credits, or 75%, to transfer, so this course can be one part of a larger transfer strategy for an Associate Degree or Bachelor of Science.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you want a SUNY Empire transfer path and need a course that carries a named equivalency rather than an unreviewed elective. It may also suit students trying to stay within SUNY Empire's transfer limit of up to 93 credits, especially if they are building toward a degree and want BUSN 2010 + Gen Ed: Mathematics on the record. It is not the right choice if you need a course that is already a signed partner arrangement, because SUNY Empire accepts UPI Study courses on a course-by-course basis instead.
