Data Science & Statistics 1: A Modeling Approach

Course Description: This course emphasizes the High School Common Core State Standards for Statistics and Probability that involve the study of Data Science, as well as AP Statistics and Probability Standards. Students authentically apply the Standards for Mathematical Practice throughout the course. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to explore quantitative and categorical data using numerical and visual summaries with the use of R; to model variation in categorical and quantitative data using the GLM; and to compare and evaluate models in terms of effect size and probabilities.
