Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra 2H/Algebra 2, and both teacher recommendation and
department approval.
This Advanced Placement course is equivalent to a one semester, introductory, non-calculus based,
college course in statistics. It is designed to introduce students to the major concept and tools for
collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual
themes: (1) Exploring data- describing patterns and departures from patterns, (2) Sampling and
experimentation- planning and conducting a study, (3) Anticipating Patterns- exploring random
phenomena using probability and simulation, and (4) Statistical Inference- estimating population
parameters and testing hypotheses.
