Description: Students will use numbers in context (data) to make predictions and informed decisions, use tools to apply statistical methods to describe patterns and trends, and understand randomness, variability, and causality through data collection, data analysis, and the interpretation of results. Students will describe data using probability and sampling distributions to judge whether a result is unsurprising or rare. Algebra 3 and Algebra 4: Probability & Statistics completes the three-year mathematics sequence required by many colleges.
Prerequisites: Geometry or Honors Geometry, Algebra 1, or Foundations Algebra 2
