350020 AP Statistics
The major themes of the content of Advanced Placement Statistics are exploratory analysis of data,
planning a study, probability and statistical inference. Students will describe patterns and departures
from patterns, plan and conduct studies, explore random phenomena using probability and simulation,
estimate population parameter test hypotheses. Students use computers and graphing calculators to
fit mathematical models to data, and also to produce graphs designed for statistical analysis. Students
are expected to read critically and interpret problem situations described in writing, and to write reports.
This course prepares students to take the Advanced Placement Statistics examination. Students opting
for this course as an alternative to Pre-Calculus or Math Analysis should discuss their selection with their
sschool counselor, as it may have implications for college admissions.
