Abstract
The recent increased emphasis on the teaching of statistics in the high school classroom has focused primarily on the techniques of exploratory data analysis. Topics include stem-and-leaf plots, box plots, median-fit lines, and curve smoothing. A number ofhigh schools, however, still teach a course in statistics for the college-bound student. Included in this course are many of the classical topics of statistics generally found in an elementary statistics course taught to college students, with only intermediate algebra as a prerequisite. Although this article highlights selected topics in such a course and describes how student-generated data can be used to illustrate these topics, the basic idea can profitably be used throughout the mathematics curriculum.
