Course Objectives:
Welcome to Statistics. Topics to be covered this semester include:
Unit3: Probability
Unit4: Statistical Analysis
Unit 5: Normal Probability Distributions
Unit 6: Confidence Intervals
Students practice the critical skill of expressing mathematical relationships from real-world problems with symbolic models…These topics will be explored through a variety of means: class discussion, notes, bellwork, textbook assignments, library, internet research.
Required Materials:
Students must bring the following materials to class each day:
Two spiral notebooks, pen/pencil
A folder with two pockets and tabs to hold loose leaf papers
- Graphic calculator TI-84 is highly recommended at home
Classroom Rules and Procedures:
- Follow the Dearborn Public School Core Values; honesty, integrity, responsibility, courtesy, and respect. Profanity and disrespect for self and peers will not be tolerated.
- Leave phones, CD players, and hats outside the classroom.
- Refrain from fighting.
- If the teacher is absent, you must respect the substitute and follow his/her instructions. Any behavior exhibited that is less than respectful is a reflection of poor judgment. Please be kind and supportive.
- Always bring your materials to the class.
- Walk in and read the board, follow directions, start the bellwork.
- Participate and enjoy the learning experience!
- No passes issued during class. Please take care of personal business before class.

- Raise your hand to be acknowledged.
- Be present, be on time, be on time, be on time.
- You will lose points from a summative assignment if you use your phone in the classroom.
- If you are tardy or late to class it is your responsibility to sign in on the tardy/late record sheet so your attendance will be changed.
Extra help:
I will be available for extra help every morning before school.
Consequences:
- A non-verbal sign or “look” from the teacher
- Verbal reminder of procedure or expectation
- Loss of points from grade

Evaluation/ Grading
80% Summative – tests, quizzes, final exam, and assignments/projects that are the culmination of what you have learned and can demonstrate.
20% Formative – behavior, bellwork, homework, notes, participation, preparedness.
Your grade will be determined as the percent of the total points accumulated during the semester on an individual basis. It’s the students’ responsibility to do their best work. Plagiarized work will result in a zero for the assignment. I expect a high level of achievement from each student. Quizzes and tests will be announced in advance.
The scale of points is as follows:
| Grade | Percentage | Grade | Percentage | Grade | Percentage |
| A | 93 –100 | B- | 80 – 82 | D+ | 65 – 69 |
| A- | 90 –92 | C+ | 77 – 79 | D | 60 – 64 |
| B+ | 87 –89 | C | 73 – 76 | E | Less than 60% |
| B | 83 – 86 | C- | 70 – 72 |
Make-up Policy:
Make-up work is your responsibility (see folders on the bulletin board). If a student is absent during a test, he/she will have a short- answers test to make-up.
* I have read and discussed the classroom policies and expectations with my child.
