in a statistics class, is it necessary to know algebra at all?

things like slopes, lines, parabolas, graphing, polynomials, radicals, equations etc etc and all that other stuff found in an algebra class.

Definitely, algebra is necessary to every higher order math. Algebra allows statisticians to manipulate data to obtain the values they need

Linear regression equations are lines. Some regression equations and lines of best fit are parabolas, but you don't come across them often. They're called curvilinear functions.
