COURSE DESCRIPTION

Our society is inundated with data: it is all around us everywhere you look. The news, businesses, and the government all use data to make critical decisions, but how do you know the data is reliable? Are the statistics produced being accurately represented? It has been said that “statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write” and certainly we can see that coming to fruition. This Intro to Statistics class will help students to think critically to discern truth from data.

Mrs. Emily Gomez

Mrs. Gomez grew up in Indiana and graduated from Purdue University with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and minor in math. During college, she did internships at Kimberly-Clark Corp. in Wisconsin, where she met her future husband and married just two days before her college graduation. Since college, Mrs. Gomez has had many different jobs, from making paper by hand to cashiering and caring for the elderly. She enjoys learning new things, like playing piano and sewing, helping others through volunteering, lending a listening ear, and seeing where and what God has her do.

She is excited to be a part of FreedomProject Academy and is grateful for the opportunity to instruct the upcoming generation in classical education to be critical and independent thinkers.
