Statistics & Probability
PrintThe Statistics and Probability domain covers Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data, Making Inferences and Justifying Conclusions, Conditional Probability and the Rules of Probability, and Using Probability to Make Decisions. Data interpretation spans summarizing distributions, fitting models, and reading two-way frequency tables. Probability work moves from basic rules to conditional probability, independence, and expected value applied to real decisions.
