You are already familiar with many topics in the study of statistics.
In this unit, we will embellish some of those Refresher topics (+) and introduce new lesson concepts.
 indicates compatibility to NY Next Generation Math Standards (NGMS)
Note: "mode" and "population" standard deviation are not the focus in NGMS.
