Course Description
In Applied Statistics, students build statistical understanding through inquiry and student-driven, project-based methods. Students will make connections across curricular topics, including criminal justice, public health, and climate change. Students will be able to learn skills and vocabulary to support their analysis of that data. The course will encourage collaboration and communication as a means to both learn and share topics.
Learning Outcomes
This course will enable students to:
- Use tools of single variable data analysis, including mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance, and percentile to examine a distribution.
- Use tools of two-variable data analysis, including regression techniques and correlation coefficient.
- Select appropriate graphical representations of data, including boxplots, histograms, and scatterplots.
- Be familiar with and utilize the fundamental concepts of probability.
- Plan a study, use probability to anticipate data distributions, and draw inferences from one and two-variable data sets.
Assessment
This course will be project-based.
