Advanced Statistics (MAT415)
4 CU, open to students in grades 11-12, with permission of Mrs. Jordan This college level non-calculus based course blends the rigor, calculations, and reasoning of mathematics with examples from the social sciences, the decision-making of business, and the experimental procedures of the laboratory sciences. A major aim of the course is for students to develop a comprehensive grasp of the process behind statistical reasoning, including the design of a study, the collection of original data, and the reaching of conclusions by quantitatively supported inference. Students will use probability as a tool in data analysis and inference. Mastering the language of statistics and using it to develop written analysis and conclusions will be stressed. Support will be provided for those students who wish to prepare for the AP Statistics exam in May.
