Math with Ms. Lyon

Statistics introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data.  Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes, with appropriate emphasis given to each:

• Exploring data:  describing patterns and departures from patterns

• Sampling and experimentation:  Planning and conducting a study

• Anticipating patterns:  Exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation

• Statistical inference:  Estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses

 

This course draws connections between all aspects of the statistical process, including design, analysis and conclusions.
