Statistics
Statistics is the branch of mathematics that is concerned with the collection and interpretation of data. The ability of computes to store, manipulate, and retrieve information at high speeds has changed the pattern of our society. The dominant force in our economy is no longer industry; it is information. This course offers the student the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of data analysis and experimental design, frequently obtained in class through numerous data collection activities and labs. Common core and standardized tests are increasingly including these topics. Students will utilize the graphing calculator and FATHOM software extensively. Successful students may wish to sign up for AP Statistics in the following year.
