This statistics course is suitable for students planning to further their education in the fields of psychology, sociology, education, allied health, business, economics, humanities, communications and liberal arts. Content will include an introduction to statistics, describing and exploring data, probability and distributions, hypothesis testing with mean and standard deviation, correlation and regression, modeling, interpreting results, sample sizes, and a statistical project. This course will use technology, and projects will be required.
AP CALCULUS DURATION: 90 Min. – 1 Year
CREDITS: 2.0 Required supplies - Graphing
GRADE LEVEL: 11, 12 Calculator
PREREQUISITE: FST
This course is recommended for college-bound students entering fields requiring extensive use of calculus. (Example: Engineering, science, and mathematics) This is a college level course which covers the first semester of a college calculus course. The topics covered include limits, continuity, differentiation and integration, and their applications – curve sketching, rates of change, mean value theorem, areas, volumes, moments and center of mass, center of gravity and centroid, moments of inertia, work and other applications. At the end of the year the students will be able to take an Advanced Placement exam for college credit and/or advanced placement. Test AB topics are covered in class; test BC topics are for independent study.
