MA310 PROBABILITY & STATISTICS
Course: MA310 Probability & Statistics
Grade: 10, 11, 12
Subject Area: Mathematics
Type: Standard
Credits: 1
Course Information:
This is a year long course that requires selection of both semesters: S1 and S2. This is a project based course designed to introduce students to the four themes of statistics, exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns and statistical inference. Real world applications will be a primary emphasis. Students will also be incorporating the use of technology and problem solving skills.
Outcomes:
Construct and interpret distributions with graphs, charts, and tables
Describe and compare distributions
Calculate numerical summaries by hand and using technology
Describe and interpret locations in a distribution (z-scores, percentiles, etc.)
Perform Normal distribution calculations including assessing normality
Construct and interpret scatterplots
Measure, calculate, and interpret correlation and a least square regression line -Interpret computer output
Describe different sampling methods (stratified, cluster, etc.)
Conduct simple random samples (using a random number table and technology)
Design comparative experiments (completely randomized, randomized block, and matched pairs designs)
Use rules of probability to construct venn diagrams, two-way tables, and determine probabilities
Apply the concept of discrete random variables to many different statistical settings
Calculate the expected values of a discrete random variable
Describe continuous random variables
Compute probabilities involving binomial and geometric random variables
