AP Statistics is a senior-only course and introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students will observe patterns and departures from patterns, decide what and how to measure, produce models using probability and simulation, and confirm models. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software, will be used regularly for instruction and assessment. Optional AP exam is offered in the spring. Prerequisites: Successful completion of Pre-Calculus or above, and teacher signature.
