AP Statistics is a non-calculus based introductory statistics course. At least one statistics course is required of college students majoring in business, psychology, sociology, education, science, engineering and mathematics. This course will expose students to four broad conceptual themes: Exploring Data, observing patterns and departures from patterns; Planning a Study, deciding what to measure and how to measure it; Anticipating Patterns in Advance, introducing probability and stimulation; and Statistical Inference, confirming models for explanations of patterns. This course would be an excellent choice for students who desire a solid introduction to statistics. A graphing calculator is required ( a TI-84 calculator is preferred).
