"The AP Statistics course outlined in this framework reflects a commitment to what college faculty value and mirrors the core curricula found in corresponding college courses. This framework defines content students must know and skills students must master in order to learn and retain an understanding of statistics they can apply in academic and everyday endeavors." - College Board
Our AP Classroom on the College Board Website will be set up in the first few weeks of school.
The AP Statistics course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. There are four themes evident in the content, skills, and assessment in the AP Statistics course: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, probability and simulation, and statistical inference. Students use technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they build conceptual understanding.
The AP Statistics course is equivalent to a one-semester, introductory, non-calculus-based college course in statistics. (College Board)
