Statistics

11 chapters95 lessons
1

Exploring one-variable data

14 lessons

Describing one variable with displays, center, spread and position, comparing groups, and the normal model, taught again at AP depth.

2

Exploring two-variable data

14 lessons

Two-way tables and scatter plots taught again, then correlation, the least squares line, residuals, r squared, influential points and transformations to linearity.

3

Collecting data: sampling and experiments

10 lessons

How the way data are gathered decides what can be concluded, from random sampling designs to randomized experiments.

4

Probability and random variables

13 lessons

The probability rules taught again, then random variables, with their distributions, means, spreads and the rules for combining them.

5

Binomial and geometric distributions

6 lessons

Two families of counts from repeated independent trials, their formulas, means and spreads, and when a binomial looks normal.

6

Sampling distributions

6 lessons

How a statistic varies from sample to sample, and why sample proportions and means are close to normal.

7

Inference for proportions: confidence intervals

7 lessons

Estimating one proportion, or the difference of two, with an interval, and what the confidence level does and does not promise.

8

Inference for proportions: significance tests

10 lessons

Testing a claim about one or two proportions, reading a p-value, and the errors and power of a test.

9

Inference for means

7 lessons

Intervals and tests for one mean, two means and paired data, using the t distribution.

10

Chi-square tests

3 lessons

Testing whether counts fit a model, and whether two categorical variables are related.

11

Inference for slopes

5 lessons

Whether a sample regression line shows a real linear relationship, and choosing the right procedure for any question.
