Students will study a non-calculus-based introduction to statistics that emphasizes exploring data, identifying patterns and departures from patterns, and planning effective statistical studies. Instruction includes determining what data to collect and how to measure it, probability and simulation, and statistical inference. Students will regularly use graphing calculators and other tools to analyze data. Throughout the course, students will complete multiple projects that apply statistical concepts to real-world scenarios and reinforce statistical reasoning.
Students are financially responsible for AP exam fees. This course is a weighted course only if the student completes the AP exam at the end of the semester. If a student opts to not take the AP exam, the course will hold a regular GPA weight.
