AP Statistics is a college-level course that introduces students to the major concepts and tools used for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. The course emphasizes statistical thinking and the use of data to make informed decisions.
Students will study the exploration and analysis of data using graphical and numerical methods, planning and conducting studies, probability and random variables, and statistical inference. Topics include confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and interpreting results in context. Students will use technology to analyze data and model real-world situations.
This course prepares students for the College Board’s AP Statistics exam and may allow students to earn college credit upon successful completion of the exam.
Students are financially responsible for AP exam fees. This course is weighted only if the student completes the AP exam at the end of the semester. If a student opts not to take the AP exam, the course will hold a regular GPA weight.
