: These originate directly in the bone. Common types include osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, which are more frequently diagnosed in children and young adults. Signs and Symptoms
The Hidden Adversary: Understanding Sarcoma Sarcoma is a rare and complex category of cancer that originates in the body's connective tissues, including muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves, bones, and cartilage. Because it can develop almost anywhere—from the deep tissue of a limb to internal organs—it is often called a "hidden" cancer. Sarcomas are broadly divided into two main categories:
: These are the most common, frequently appearing in the legs, arms, or trunk. There are over 70 distinct subtypes, such as synovial sarcoma and leiomyosarcoma.
Probability calculations that can be used to inform decisions and manage risk can be very complicated. This unit is designed to help build your foundational understanding of probability and introduce you to some of the techniques that are used to calculate very difficult probabilities. You will continue to work with the Games Fair interactive tool and be exposed to real world situations to start to realize the impact of probability in your world.
The focus of this unit is on Probability Distributions. You will learn how to display all of the outcomes of a probability situation in a table and a bar graph. You will learn some formulas that will work with some situations. A large part of the unit will be calculating the expected value, or average, of a probability situation. The Games Fair Interactive tool will be used throughout the unit and will provide a focus for the summative and lead up to the Culminating Assignment, the Games Fair.

In Unit 3 of this course, you demonstrated how to represent the distribution of a discrete random variable. This unit will look at the distribution of continuous random variables and how they are compared to discrete variables. In the third and fourth activity, you will be introduced to what may be the most important mathematical function: the normal distribution.
In this unit, you will consolidate the concepts and skills you have learned throughout this course. You will complete the course culminating activity, through which you will analyze the impacts of energy transformation technologies on society and the environment.
