Data Analysis and Probability

Students will determine probability and expected value to inform everyday decision making

Determine conditional probabilities and probabilities of compound events to make decisions in problem situations.

Use probabilities to make and justify decisions about risks in everyday life

Calculate expected value to analyze mathematical fairness, payoff, and risk.

Students will build the skills and vocabulary necessary to analyze and critique reported statistical information, summaries, and graphical displays.

Students will apply statistical methods to design, conduct, and analyze statistical studies.

Students will use functions to model problem situations in both discrete and continuous relationships.

Determine whether a problem situation involving two quantities is best modeled by a discrete (pattern identification, population growth, compound interest) or continuous (medication dosage, climate change, bone decay) relationship.

Use linear, exponential, logistic, piecewise and sine functions to construct a model.

Students will compute the ratio of winnings in an interrupted game.
