Mathematics of Data Management, Grade 12 (University Preparation)

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

This course broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing
data. Students will apply methods for organizing and analysing large amounts of
information; solve problems involving probability and statistics; and carry out a
culminating investigation that integrates statistical concepts and skills. Students will
also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior
mathematics. Students planning to enter university programs in business, the social
sciences, and the humanities will find this course of particular interest.

Students will learn counting techniques such as listing, tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, and Pascal’s triangle and apply the fundamental counting principles and permutations. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Section 2: Combinations and The Binomial Theorem” tab_id=”1730804011634-ea6c7457-04b4″][vc_column_text]In this unit, students learned to use tree diagrams to count items when the order of the items was important. Further, students will be introduced to a type of diagram that helps organize data about groups of items when the order of the items is not important. Students will also learn how to solve problems involving combinations and to distinguish between a permutation and a combination.

They will learn to distinguish between experimental and theoretical probability and determine the relationship between them. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Section 2: Probability Distribution ” tab_id=”1730804238995-20ba8d65-66e2″][vc_column_text]This section teaches solving problems involving dependent and independent events with continuous or discrete probability distributions. Students will learn to construct frequency and probability histograms, calculate the expectation of probability distribution, and make connections between the different types of probability distributions.  [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Unit 3: Section 1: Probability Distribution for Continous Variables (MT)” tab_id=”1730804276976-0647fd01-4e74″][vc_column_text]In this unit, students will learn about continuous probability distributions and the role of the standard deviation, discover the normal distribution, z-scores, and confidence intervals, and make connections to discrete random variables.  [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Section 2: Organization of Data for Analysis” tab_id=”1730804326931-14c8a4df-a316″][vc_column_text]In this unit, students will learn about the different types of data that can be analyzed and how to go about collecting the data (Statistics) 

(Statistics is the science of conducting studies to collect, organize, summarize, analyze, and draw conclusions from data.)[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Unit 4: Section 1: One Variable Data for Analysis” tab_id=”1730804359256-fac6bc13-0bb7″][vc_column_text]In this unit, students will learn techniques for analyzing statistics using one variable. The analysis will include graphical analysis such as Box and Whisker Plots as well as mathematical techniques such as measures of central tendency and measures of speed. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Section 2: Two- Variable Data Analysis ” tab_id=”1730804411320-2e9c1258-286a”][vc_column_text]In this unit, students will continue to learn about statistics by investigating two-variable statistics.  Students will learn concluding data using concepts such as Scatter Plot, Line of Best Fit, Correlation, Residuals, linear regression, Coefficient of Correlation, and validity of data and use technology to understand two-variable statistics.
