Course Description:
AP Stats is designed to provide students with opportunities to examine data through both descriptive and inferential
means. Theoretical foundations in probability and sampling distributions will extend to discussions covering hypothesis
testing, confidence intervals, and experimental design. The Advanced Placement Statistics Exam may allow students
to earn advanced status and/or credit at most colleges and universities. As such, students must utilize not only
mathematical skills, but also writing skills in order to be successful.
Skills learned, reinforced, advanced and applied:
• Describe the role of statistics in society
• Gather, evaluate, summarize, and display data
• Calculate and explain measures of central tendency, dispersion and position
• Apply and simulate situations involving probability
• Apply formulas related to probability distributions
• Construct confidence intervals for means and proportions, and for the differences between means and proportions
• Formulate and test hypotheses concerning means and proportions for a variety of populations and samples
• Formulate and test hypotheses involving contingency tables and linear regressions
• Conduct an experiment
• Communicate mathematical reasoning verbally and in writing
Activities:
• Guided practice • Technology applications
• Exploratory activities • Analytical reading and writing
