The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: Exploring Data, Planning a Study, Anticipating Patterns, and Statistical Inference. During the year students will be required to complete 2-3 extensive projects and many of the lessons will be interactive. This course is the equivalent to a college introductory statistics course and a college text is used. Students will be expected to take the Advanced Placement Statistics exam in May. If a student elects to do a Senior Project, the student must still attend all Advanced Placement classes.
