Level 3 Statistics

Mathematics with Statistics is a course designed to introduce students to statistical report writing and to have a solid foundation of probability concepts and distributions.  The written reports involve data analysis, researching relevant information, and forming logical conclusions.  The External Standards involve expanding on the basic probability concepts from Level Two.  Probability Concepts involves understanding and using Venn diagrams, conditional probability, independent events, probability trees and relative risk.  Probability Distributions involves using different types of distributions depending on the data given.  Students will need access to a laptop or computer during the lead up to, and assessment of, the written reports.

Prerequisite:
