Topics covered include sampling methods, types of random variables and parameters, descriptive statistics (such as 5-number summary, mean, standard deviation), data presentations (such as bar charts, histograms), introductory probability, standard normal and t distributions, z scores, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, types of errors, and regression and correlation. Optional topics include chi-squared and probability distributions (such as binomial and geometric). Class periods will often be scheduled in a computer lab to exhibit calculations using technology.
