PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS
Code: 261
½ Credit
In this semester course, students develop and apply mathematical concepts necessary for career pathways in forensics, health sciences, social sciences, business and educational studies. It provides students with a basic knowledge of probability and statistics including counting, organizing, and reporting data, measures of central tendency, standard deviation, area models for probability, line plots, stem and leaf plots, and graphs.
*Prerequisites: Algebra II and Geometry
SAT PREPARATION: MATHEMATICS
Code: 165
½ Credit
This course provides a complete review of the topics covered in the mathematics portion of the SAT I Reasoning Test. The mathematics portion of the SAT focuses on a student’s reasoning and problem-solving abilities in four categories: algebra, geometry, and other topics such as, patterns, special symbols, logical analysis, probability, and statistics., and data interpretation. Mathematical insights, shortcuts, strategies, and critical-thinking skills are explored. This course is offered in conjunction with the SAT Preparation: English course. Students complete a timed practice SAT test and review the results for further improvement.
*Juniors only
