Statistics for Beginners is a course designed to introduce high school level students to the fundamental concepts of statistics.
In this course, students will learn how to collect, organize, and analyze data, and how to use this data to make informed decisions. They will learn how to calculate measures of central tendency (such as mean, median, and mode) and measures of dispersion (such as range, variance, and standard deviation), and how to use these measures to describe and interpret data.
The course will also cover topics such as probability, sampling, and hypothesis testing, and will involve both class discussions and hands-on activities, such as conducting statistical analyses using real-world data sets.
By the end of the course, students should have a strong foundation in statistical concepts and be able to apply these skills to a variety of settings.
