Probability and Statistics

This course explores two distinct yet related fields: Probability, which focuses on the likelihood of events, and Statistics, which involves collecting and analyzing numerical data to inform decisions. Students will learn to represent and interpret data using various visual tools, apply counting techniques and probability rules, and analyze real-world situations involving both payoff and risk.

Key Topics

  • Representing and Interpreting Data (Plots, Histograms, Tables)
  • Normal Distributions and Correlation
  • Conditional Probability and Event Independence
  • Counting Techniques (Permutations and Combinations)
  • Data Collection Techniques and Statistical Models

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion, students will be able to represent univariate data with various plots and compare and interpret data sets and their graphical distributions . They will also be able to calculate probabilities, apply probability concepts to establish independence, and evaluate the validity of statistical models and reports based on data.

Grade Level

  • High School (Grades 9–12)

Audience

Students who want to develop strong analytical and data literacy skills, students preparing for the AP Statistics exam, and students planning to pursue fields like social science, business, or data science in college.
