Students will find means and variances of random variables, simulate binomial and geometric probability distributions, interpret sampling distributions and understand the Central Limit Theorem. Students will plan and conduct an experiment, apply hypothesis-testing and conduct both large sample significance tests and Chi-square tests. This includes applying t-distributions to single and two-sample t-procedures, using tables or graphing. All students will display and analyze data using a graphing calculator and a statistical software package. Students in the year-long class will use statistical inference to draw conclusions about a population based on sample data and use probability to determine the reliability of the conclusions.
