FORT LEE HIGH SCHOOL Probability and Statistics Course Syllabus COURSE DESCRIPTION: Probability and statistics gives students an introductory-level amount of content with probabilistic problems and statistical methods, models, etc. SCOPE AND SEQUENCE: Probability and Statistics is a math course that branches away from the typical Algebra I, Algebra II, Precalculus, Calculus pathway. The only actual prerequisite for the content of this course is Algebra I. The course focuses on teaching the new branch of math with a new way of thinking. There will also be comparably heavy use of technology to do more rigorous data analysis and visualizations. COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon the successful completion of the course, students will be able to: Classify data Describe data by position and variation Create graphical displays of data Answer probabilistic questions Classify and interpret probability distributions Calculate probabilities for situations and distributions Create and interpret confidence intervals Create hypothesis tests and execute them Evaluate correlations and regressions Analyze variances TEXT: Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World 6e By Ron Larson and Betsy Farber CHEATING, PLAGIARISM, AND FALSIFICATION: Fort Lee High School does not tolerate any instance of cheating, plagiarism, or falsification. As per Policy 5131.2: Academic Dishonesty, “Pupils are expected to be honest in all of their academic work. This means that they will not engage in any of the following acts: A. Cheating on examinations, including but not limited to, the non-authorized use of books or notes, the use of crib sheets, copying from other pupils’ papers, exchanging information with other pupils orally, in writing, or by signals, obtaining copies of the examination illegally and other similar activities. B. Plagiarism is not permitted in term papers, themes, essays, reports, images, take—home examinations, and other academic work. Plagiarism is defined as stealing or use without acknowledgment of the ideas, words, formulas, textual materials, on line services, computer programs, etc. of another person, or in any way presenting the work of another person as one’s own. C. Falsifications, including forging signatures, altering answers after they have been graded, the insertion of answers after the fact, the erasure of grader’s markings, and other acts that allow for falsely taking credit.” A pupil found guilty of academic dishonesty will be subject to reprimand and loss of credit for all of the work that is subject to cheating, plagiarism, and falsification. 1 COURSE OUTLINE: Topics to be Covered Quarter 1 Chapter 1: Intro to Stats Chapter 2: Descriptve Statistics Chapter 3: Probability Quarter 3 Chapter 6: Confidence Intervals Chapter 7: Hypothesis Testing with One Sample Chapter 8: Hypothesis Testing with 2 Samples Quarter 2 Chapter 4: Discrete Probability Distributions Chapter 5: Normal Distributions Quarter 4 Chapter 9: Correlation and Regression Chapter 10: Chi-Square Tests and F-Distribution MR. TURTORO’S POLICIES General Policies o 1 person in the bathroom at a time. o No Extra Credit. Only Extra Help. Absence/Extension Policies o Extensions for summative assessments (tests/quizzes) are only granted if 2 or more absences occur in the 3 class periods preceding the test date. (Exceptions made for excessive excused absences) o Extensions on HW not granted unless absence is excused. Otherwise, HW should be handed in upon return. (All HWs posted on Google Classroom) When HW is handed in, student should indicate on the HW that they were absent on the day it was submitted. o Quizzes should be made up after 1 week. Failure to do so may result in loss of credit for the assessment. (Exceptions made for excessive excused absences) Attendance policies o Students entering the class anytime after the bell should sign in the sign-in sheet at the front of the room. o HW handed in after it is collected is late. o Unexcused Tardies (>15 min, >20 min for 1st period). will be recorded as cuts (4 cuts = DROP) o Students marked “Present” by the attendance office will be recorded as a “Cut” if they fail to attend class. HW Policies o HW=5 points o Late HW (1st week)=4 points o Late HW (after 1st week)=3 points o Any errors in grades must be pointed out on the day HWs are returned for full credit. GRADING Students will be have a year-end grade consisting of 4 Marking Period grades worth 20% each, and 2 Exams (Midterm and Final) scores worth 10% each. Within each Marking Period grade, 60% will be summative evalutation (Tests, Projects, Quizzes) and 40% will be Formative evaluation (Homeworks, Participation, Classwork). 2
