You can absolutely teach basic statistical literacy without too much other maths and certainly without any higher maths. That’s how it’s done in schools in other countries - for example here is the statistics component of the maths GCSE for one of the exam boards in the UK (the others will be similar) https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/mathematics/gcse/mathematics-8300/subject-content/3.6-statistics https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/mathematics/gcse/mathematics... GCSE starts after the third year of secondary school in the UK so most people will have completed their GCSE in the year they turn 16. Then 16-18 year olds wanting to study STEM subjects go on to do maths A-level, which includes more topics that in the US would be considered precalc as well as some calculus, more probability and statistics and some mechanics. Here’s the A-level syllabus from the same board. As you can see, for stats it includes distributions and hypothesis testing, so much more depth https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/mathematics/as-and-a-level/mathematics-7357/specification-at-a-glance https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/mathematics/as-and-a-level/m...
