Chapter 12: Discrete Mathematics: Statistics (pp. 762 – 825)
It is the goal of the instructor that the students will:
·         calculate the measures of central tendency for a set of data (mean, median, mode) individually or from a frequency table
·         describe how outliers effect each measure of central tendency
·         construct a frequency table to manage a set of data
·         construct a stem and leaf plot, histogram, relative frequency table, circle graph, or boxplot for a set of data by hand and (some) on the calculator and identify their key parts
·         identify the shape of a histogram, stem and leaf plot, or boxplot, and explain what it tells you about the data
·         calculate the measures of deviation for a set of data (mean variation, variance, standard deviation)
·         identify a binomial distribution/experiment and calculate the binomial probability of the experiment
·         identify a normal distribution of data and calculate z-scores to find the probability of an event or given the probability, determine the event restrictions
