Statistics CP

Statistics is the science of using data to make numerical conjectures about problems. Problem solving and critical thinking experience will be provided to students through lessons derived from statistical samples with data analysis. Descriptive statistics is used in summarizing data. Topics include: histograms, boxplots, measures of center, the standard deviation, the normal curve, and deviations from patterns. Much statistical reasoning depends on the theory of probability. Topics include: chance models, expected value, standard error, and law of large numbers. Statistical inference is the art of making valid generalizations from samples. Topics include: estimation, measurement error, tests of statistical significance.
