| This discipline is an introduction to the
study of probability, interpretation of data,
and fundamental
statistical
problem solving. Mastery of this academic content
will provide students with a
solid
foundation in probability and facility in processing
statistical
information. |
| 1.0 |
Students know the definition of the notion of
independent events and can use the rules for addition, multiplication, and
complementation to solve for probabilities of particular events in finite
sample spaces |

| 2.0 |
Students know the definition of conditional probability and use it to solve
for probabilities in finite sample spaces. |
What is Probability?

| 3.0 |
Students demonstrate an understanding of the notion of discrete random
variables by using them to solve for the probabilities of outcomes, such as
the probability of the occurrence of five heads in 14 coin tosses. |

| 4.0 |
Students are familiar with the standard distributions (normal, binomial, and
exponential) and can use them to solve for events in problems in which the
distribution belongs to those families. |
Mean and Variance of Random Variable http://www.stat.yale.edu/Courses/1997-98/101/normal.htm |
| 5.0 |
Students determine the mean and the standard deviation of a normally
distributed random variable. |

| 6.0 |
Students know the definitions of the mean, median, and mode of a
distribution of data and can compute each in particular situations. |
Geometric Mean, Harmonic Mean, and
Weighted Arithmetic Mean http://www.schoolofed.nova.edu/edl/secure/s

| 7.0 |
Students compute the variance and the standard deviation of a distribution
of data. |
Mean and Variance of Random Variable http://www.stoller-eser.com/raddeviation.htm |
| 8.0 |
Students organize and describe distributions of data by using a number of
different methods, including frequency tables, histograms, standard line and
bar graphs, stem-and-leaf displays, scatterplots, and box-and-whisker plots. |
