Math II for PADD

By the end of this course, students will have demonstrated the ability to graph, describe, and evaluate linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions.  Critical thinking and problem-solving skills will continue to develop through exposure to application problems including exponential growth, radioactive decay, and pH.  Students will use numerical methods along with graphs, charts, and tables to effectively describe data, calculate the empirical and theoretical probability of simple events using key rules of probability, and apply descriptive and inferential statistics to applications from the health care fields.  Students will develop essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills through exposure to application problems, including dosage calculations, solution dilutions, concentrations and pH. Students will use numerical methods to calculate measures of center and variation.  Students will distinguish between discrete and continuous probability distributions and describe key features of the standard normal distribution. Students will calculate probabilities and values using the standard normal distribution, and calculate confidence intervals for means and proportions and apply descriptive and inferential statistics to the health care field.
