Not just numbers and equations.  It actually has to do with real life examples.\u201d Lindsey Downs and Morgan  Hill mentioned that probability and outcomes of situations are a part  of the class also. Mr. Rust says, \u201cI guess from a teacher\u2019s perspective  it seems like it is much more applicable than most other math  class&#8230;.lots of real world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Danielle  Becktel said, \u201cI recommend Statistics class. It is a lot of fun.\u201d Hill  says that her fellow classmates are close, love being together, and  learning with Mr. Rust. Chris Eberly\u2019s opinion on the class is, \u201c[It is]  an awesome senior math class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There  are many different purposes to this math class. Felke states that,  \u201c[You acquire] skills you can use in the business world for analyzing  many different things such as finance, accounting, etc.\u201d Like all AP  classes, an AP exam is required. If the final score is three or higher,  college credit hours are earned by the student. Otherwise, the credits  only count to your high school career. To enroll in this class, students  must complete all the prior math classes such as Algebra, Geometry,  Algebra II, and Pre-Calculus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Layne Holloway The Statistics class is a math class normally taken by seniors.
