  • Description of Unit:  This topic expands students’ understandings and skills related to probability and statistics.  Students will find permutations and combinations of data sets using formulas, use simulation to model experimental probability, find the theoretical probability of events using a formula, and find and analyze the measures of central tendency of given data sets.

    Key Vocabulary: conditional probability, continuous probability distribution, dependent events, discrete probability distribution, equally likely outcomes, independent events, interquartile range, mean, median, mode, mutually exclusive events, normal distribution, outlier, percentile, probability distribution, random sample, range of a set of data, sample, sample space, and survey.
