This course is ideal for a college-bound student seeking a fourth math credit who would benefit from a hands-on, activity-based, practical math course. Students considering a college program of study in accounting, marketing, economics, social and political sciences or applied health fields are encouraged to enroll. Probability and Statistics provides students with opportunities to collect, organize, display, analyze and interpret real data, to predict and forecast future events, and to solve problems. Students will complete projects that will require them to conduct experiments, perform simulations, administer surveys and engage in original research from internet databases. Students will learn such concepts and skills as standard deviation, z-scores, normal distributions, confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, correlation, regression, binomial distribution models, expected value, and probability models within the context of previously described project. Seniors with a 90 average after 4 marking terms are exempt from the final exam. Students taking this course will be required to complete a summer assignment.
