AP Statistics prepares students to collect, analyze, and extrapolate data. Course topics include data-based predictions, variation and distribution, patterns and uncertainty, conclusions, and decisions. 

In this course students will develop a basic understanding of probability including counting techniques, permutations, combinations, and simple and compound probability. Also developed will be a basic understanding of statistics including data distributions, data relationships, randomness, confidence intervals and tests of significance, data inference through comparison, and data inference through measurement. Various technologies, especially graphing calculators, will be used throughout the course.

Real-world problem-solving is approached by seeking mathematical patterns that are generalized through the use of variables, properties, and symbolic notation to create algebraic expressions, formulas, and equations. Manipulation of these expressions, formulas, and equations is the core of Algebra I. Problem-solving is approached through the creation and algebraic manipulation of equations. Graphs, diagrams, and other visual images will be used to provide concrete ways to conceptualize the abstract.
