What class in college would be easier, Introductory Statistics or?
The letters seem to mean the department and the numbers the level of the course. In a math department, Introductory statistics would not usually be a 1 level, but a 3 level course and would require the calculus sequence (at least) as a prerequisite. OTOH, elementary statistics in a business department will be an intro to data analysis and not require much math. So, I say you cant tell from just the name and number. Look at the course descriptions, the prerequisites, the text books and so on.
