We will explore all areas of probability and statistics starting with what is data, discrete v. continuous, analog and digital data. We will then move on to data displays, surveying, measures of central value, measures of spread (including standard deviation, quartiles, and interquartile rage), comparing univariate and bivariate data, correlation, probability, combinations and permutations and random variables. This course is designed as an introduction to data analysis to ready a student for college level statistics.
