How much Statistics do you think they will ask on the Praxis II Math teacher exam?

Math Help


Hi. I have not had a full Statistics course, but this seems to be one of the topics listed on the Praxis II Math teachers exam number 0061. Can anyone give me an idea of what they might ask, and how to prepare for this other than taking an entire Stats course?

   You don’t need a full stats course.

   They like the basic concepts of mean and standard deviation.

   They like Stem and Leaf, and Box and Whiskers.

   They like very simple Normal Distribution questions, such as if mean plus or minus 2 standard deviations is 95% probability and you know the mean, how much is the standard deviation?

   They like very simple design of experiments, such as would it be a good idea to take a sample by using cell phone numbers (No, if not everyone has a cell phone).

   I did take a full Stats course, but I found I could review this stuff quickly with the Praxis material I got from
