Semester Course (1 unit)

NCAA Core GPA Approved

This course is an introduction to data analysis and statistics using a problem solving approach. Topics studied include descriptive and inferential statistics, quality control, mean, median, mode, and other measures of central tendency, measures of variation, and probability.

Graphing calculators will be used extensively and students should have their own graphing calculator. If purchasing a calculator, the TI-84 contains the features needed for all courses except AP Calculus or AP Statistics. This is also the calculator used for demonstration purposes in classes. Students will not be allowed to use a TI-89, TI-92, TI-Nspire CAS or other comparable calculators that utilize symbolic manipulation. Only AP courses use the Nspire-CAS calculator.

Calculator rentals are available through the math department. See a math teacher for questions.
