On the Question of Statistical Research in the School Course of Mathematics
Abstract
Some elements of probability theory and statistics have been only recently included in high school curriculum. However, there so far have been no well-established textbooks and no clear consensus on the depth and breadth of the topics to be taught. As a result, the course gives students an incomplete picture of the subject. The article discusses some possible additions to the existing curriculum. The article also provides examples of assignments where mathematical statistics methods are used to study distribution laws and to solve geometry and extremum problems.
