Statistics and Probability

Presentation

Statistics and Probability is the second of a series of four courses in the Mathematics program. This course is divided into three parts and comprises nine learning situations that require learners to carry out and analyze a survey, while avoiding sources of bias. Learners will also be required to use tables and graphs to illustrate their results. In addition, they will have to calculate the probability that an event will occur. This course contains a self-evaluation activity and is accompanied by three scored activities.
