Statistical Reasoning
Statistical Reasoning
Course Description
Teaching and learning will focus on the following Mathematical
concepts:The course provides experiences in statistics beyond the
CCGPS sequence of courses, offering students opportunities to
strengthen their understanding of the statistical method of inquiry and
statistical simulations. Students will formulate statistical questions to
be answered using data, will design and implement a plan to collect
the appropriate data, will select appropriate graphical and numerical
methods for data analysis, and will interpret their results to make
connections with the initial question.
Advanced Mathematical Advanced Mathematical Decision Making Teaching and learning will focus on the following Mathematical
Decision Making
concepts: This course will give students further experiences with
