Course

Students enrolled in AP Statistics are expected to describe patterns and departures from patterns; plan and conduct a study; explore random phenomena using probability and simulation; and estimate population parameters and test hypotheses. The topic outline for AP Statistics includes constructing and interpreting graphical displays of distributions of univariate data; summarizing and comparing distributions of univariate data; exploring bivariate and categorical data; planning and conducting surveys and experiments using appropriate methods of data collection; generalizability of results and types of conclusions that can be drawn from observational studies, experiments, and surveys; exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation; combining independent random variables; the normal distribution; sampling distributions; estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses; and tests of significance.Exam questions are based on the topics and skills addressed in the AP Statistics course. Formulas and tables needed to complete exam questions are provided to students taking the exam. Students are expected to use a graphing calculator with statistical capabilities on the entire exam.
