Probability & Statistics

This course offers an introduction to modern statistics and probability. Students learn the fundamental ideas of probability, some of which are applied to developing statistical methods in the next part of the course. The study of statistics includes the construction and interpretation of statistical graphs, measures of central tendency and variation, methods of sampling, binomial and normal distributions, and hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, regression, correlation, probability, permutations, and combinations. Applications are emphasized and technology will be used to simulate probability experiments, illustrate statistical concepts, and perform statistical analyses.
