350021/350022 AP Statistics
The major themes of the content of Advanced Placement Statistics are exploratory analysis of data, planning a study,
probability and statistical inference. Students will describe patterns and departures from patterns, plan and conduct
studies, explore random phenomena using probability and simulation, estimate population parameter test hypotheses.
Students use computers and graphing calculators to fit mathematical models to data, and also to produce graphs
designed for statistical analysis. Students are expected to read critically and interpret problem situations described in
writing, and to write reports. This course prepares students to take the Advanced Placement Statistics examination.
Students opting for this course as an alternative to AP Precalculus AB or Math Analysis should discuss their selection with
their school counselor, as it may have implications for college admissions.
