AP STATISTICS:
AP Statistics is the high school equivalent of a one semester, introductory college statistics course. In this course, students develop strategies for collecting, organizing, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students design, administer, and tabulate results from surveys and experiments. Probability and simulations aid students in constructing models for chance phenomena. Sampling distributions provide the logical structure for confidence intervals and hypothesis tests. Students use a TI-83/84 graphing calculator, Excel spreadsheet software, and web-based java applets to investigate statistical concepts. To develop effective statistical communication skills, students are required to prepare frequent oral and written analyses of read data.
