Prerequisite: Placement in Advanced Placement Statistics requires that students have
demonstrated completion in Algebra II Accelerated with at least a 90% average or higher, or
Algebra II Honors with at least an 80% average or higher.
Advanced Placement Statistics is designed to be a challenging course that prepares students for the study of
statistics in college. The basic principles and methods and elementary research techniques are explored.
Students are introduced to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions
from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: 1. Exploring Data: Observing patterns and
departures from patterns. 2. Deciding what and how to measure. 3. Anticipating Patterns: Producing models
using probability theory and simulation. 4. Statistical Inference: Confirming models. This course is paced
appropriately for students to be successful on the AP Exam.
