Course Description
This course broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing data. Students will apply methods
for organizing and analysing large amount 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 humanities will find this course of special interest.
Expectations are organized into four categories of knowledge and skills. The categories and their corresponding
weighting is as follows:
Knowledge and Understanding 20 - 35%
