AP Statistics • Description • This independent study course provides students with the content established by the College Board. Topics include: (1) exploring data, (2) planning a study, (3) anticipating patterns, and (4) statistical inference. The use of graphing calculators and computer programs is required.
AP Statistics • Outcomes • In analyzing data, make use of graphical and numerical techniques to study patterns and departures from patterns. • Collect data according to a well-developed plan if you wish to obtain valid information. • Use probability to anticipate what the distribution of data should look like under a given model. • Use statistical inference to guide selection of appropriate models. • Strategy for Success • Work cooperatively to study chapters!
