TOPICS OF STUDY
AP Statistics is an introductory college-level statisticscourse that introduces students to the major conceptsand tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawingconclusions from data. Students cultivate theirunderstanding of statistics using technology,investigations, problem solving, and writing as theyexplore concepts like variation and distribution; patternsand uncertainty; and data-based predictions, decisions,and conclusions.
Three Hour Exam:50 Multiple Choice Questions (90 min)6 Free Response Questions (90 min)
You’ll be introduced to how statisticians approach variationand practice representing data, describing distributions ofdata, and drawing conclusions based on a theoreticaldistribution.You’ll build on this by representing two-variable data,comparing distributions, describing relationships betweenvariables, and using models to make predictions.You’ll be introduced to study design, including the importanceof randomization. You’ll understand how to interpret theresults of well-designed studies to draw appropriateconclusions and generalizations.You’ll learn the fundamentals of probability and be introducedto the probability distributions that are the basis for statisticalinference.As you build understanding of sampling distributions, you’ll laythe foundation for estimating characteristics of a populationand quantifying confidence.You’ll learn inference procedures for proportions of acategorical variable, building a foundation of understanding ofstatistical inference.You’ll learn to analyze quantitative data to make inferencesabout population means.You’ll learn about chi-square tests, which can be used whenthere are two or more categorical variables.You’ll understand that the slope of a regression model is notnecessarily the true slope but is based on a single sample froma sampling distribution, and you’ll learn how to constructconfidence intervals and perform significance tests for thisslope.

Students who are considering enrolling in AP Statistics have already completed an Advanced Algebra class and have anunderstanding of basic statistical measures. They are independent learners with strong reading and writing skills. They are
also open-minded and willing to work outside of their academic comfort zone. This is not your typical math class!
