STATISTICS
5 Credits Full Year College I or College II
Prerequisite: A grade of 80% or better in Algebra II to continue in College I level. A grade of 70% or better in Algebra II to continue in College II level and consent of Math Department.
Modules presented I this course are chosen from a selection of discrete mathematics topics including cryptography and coding, game theory, graph theory, mathematics and architecture, applications of trigonometry, fairness and apportionment, mathematics and careers, investment and finance, and college placement test review. This course provides an application based approach to the study of mathematical modeling and provides a bridge from high school mathematics to mathematical applications commonly encountered in college, business and vocational trades. Statistics topics of this course include data analysis, probability, simulations, inferential statistics, normal and binomial distributions, techniques of sampling, confidence intervals, and hypotheses testing. Students use explanatory methods to identify patterns and make
decisions. By using a hands-on approach and simulations, students gain a strong understanding of statistical concepts. Emphasis is placed on applications and the use of statistics to solve real life problems. ( TI83+ calculator is required.)
