Course: MA310 Probability & Statistics

Grade: 10, 11, 12

Subject Area: Mathematics

Type: Standard

Credits: 1

Course Information:

The objective of Probability & Statistics is for all learners to show proficiency in the understanding and application of the following: comparative analysis of the various types of samples and sampling, data distributions, rules of probability, experimental designs and inferences, binomial and geometric distributions, and calculations for correlation and least squares regression lines. These concepts will be taught and assessed through a variety of assignments, activities, tests and projects. The concepts covered in Probability & Statistics will prepare students to be successful and ready to move on to an advanced college Statistics course.

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
