Credit: 1.00
Prerequisite: Algebra II

  Probability and Statistics is a college level math course designed with many applications in science, business, and industry. Students work with measures of central tendency and dispersion, random variables, binomial and normal probability distributions, and estimations for a population(s). Students also learn to test hypotheses, construct confidence intervals, make decisions, and analyze regression and correlations. Students taking this course must be able to work with formulas, which vary in difficulty. Students are evaluated by their daily work with formulas, which vary in difficulty. Students are evaulated by their daily work and discussions, quizzes, tests, a final exam and a final statistical research project done individually or in groups to include in their portfolio. The project incorporates many concepts learned throughout the course. A lot of cooperative learning sessions are incorporated throughout this course. The last few weeks students work in computers labs to learn how to do the same work they learned throughout the year on the computer.
