536 AP STATISTICS (AP/Wt.) Gr. 11-12 5 cr., 36 wks
The Advanced Placement course in statistics is equivalent to a one-semester, introductory, non-calculus based, college course in statistics. Upon successful completion of the course, students will take the Advanced Placement Exam for possible college credit.
The purpose of the 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: exploratory analysis, planning a study, probability, and statistical inference.
AP Statistics is a laboratory-like course which engages students in explorations and analysis of data.
Note: Students taking this Advanced Placement course will be encouraged to take the AP examination near the conclusion of the course. Please see the explanation of the Advanced Placement Program under General Information in this Curriculum Guide.
