Statistics vs Quantitative Analysis: not the same course

No. Principles of Statistics (Statistics 101) covers describing data, probability, distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, regression and ANOVA. Quantitative Analysis (Math 250) uses probability inside business decision tools: decision trees, simulation, inventory and queuing models, project scheduling and linear programming.

Neither syllabus lists a prerequisite, so you can take them in either order. Both use probability, which Principles of Statistics teaches from its third chapter.

Principles of Statistics (Statistics 101): ACE recommends 3 semester hours, ACE ID UPIS-0003, and NCCRS recommends 3 as well. Quantitative Analysis (Math 250) is NCCRS only: 3 semester hours in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Finance, Management or Data Science, among other areas.

Principles of Statistics: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Mathematics among other subjects; ACE recommends 3 (ACE ID UPIS-0003). Quantitative Analysis: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Mathematics among other subjects.

Principles of Statistics: Mathematics, Economics, International Business, Finance, Finance and Investment, Accounting, Management, Human Resources, Hospitality Management, Management Information Systems, Marketing, Education, or Health Services. Quantitative Analysis: Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Actuarial Science, Statistics, International Business, Finance, Finance and Investment, Management, Computational Finance, Financial Engineering, or Data Science. Your college decides which requirement each one fills.

Principles of Statistics is longer by its syllabus. Principles of Statistics: 14 chapters and 67 instructional hours. Quantitative Analysis: 13 chapters and 34 instructional hours. Both are self-paced, so you finish as fast or as slow as you want.
