Abstract: 

The NCTM "Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics" (1989) reflect the current movement to introduce probability and statistics in the precollege curriculum. These standards include topics and principles for instruction in probability and statistics which are included in the Quantitative Literacy Project (QLP) curriculum materials. This paper presents results of a survey which explored the success of the QLP materials in terms of student reactions to instruction in probability and statistics.
