STATISTICAL MODELING CP

Welcome to Statistical Modeling CP!

You will have the distinct pleasure of taking Probability & Statistics CP this year! The class will meet for about 90 minutes each day for 90 days. You will build on arithmetic concepts and procedures from previous courses to analyze and develop surveys of your own for practical applications. You will also learn how to interpret and scrutinize experiments for validity and usefulness.

Pacing Guide and Assessment Checklist

Due to the fluctuating nature of the High School schedule, lesson plans are outperformed by a general pacing guide of topics and assessments. Below are the topics we will cover this year and milestones for assessments (subject to change as needed). Each topic is hyperlinked to the handout from the corresponding classroom packet. *Topics in this guide are color-coded blue once we've covered that topic. In the event that too many days of instruction are lost, lessons will be truncated from the end of the course, not from the center.*

This same pacing guide can be found in Google Classroom (if you lose any pages from your packet) and in PowerSchool (along with corresponding grades).
