| The topics for AP Statistics are divided into four major themes: exploratory analysis, planning a study, probability and statistical inference. Exploratory analysis of data makes use of graphical and numerical techniques to study patterns and departures from patterns. In planning a study, data must be collected according to a well-developed plan if valid information on a conjecture is to be obtained. Probability is the tool used for anticipating what the distribution of data should look like under a given model. Statistical inference guides the selection of appropriate models. This course may be taken concurrently with Pre-Calculus or Calculus. Requirements: Must have completed the Math B program. The student must purchase a TI-83+ or TI-84+ graphing calculator. Recommended: A final mark not less than 80 in Math B. |
