important statistical concepts and applications which are addressed in the Pennsylvania Core
Standards for mathematics. This course is for students who have an interest in developing skills in the area of statistics but are not interested in studying statistics at the advanced placement (AP) level. The course will address topics in both descriptive and inferential statistics. Topics will include organizing data, measures of center and variation, correlation and regression, probability and probability distributions, sampling distributions, estimation, and inferences using hypothesis tests.
Prerequisite: Students must have an Algebra II grade of 77% or higher and a Geometry credit.
