Goals of AP Statistics:
Students who are 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.
Topic outline for AP Statistics:
1) Exploring Data
- Constructing and interpreting graphical displays of distributions of univariate data
- Summarizing and comparing distributions of univariate data
- Exploring bivariate and categorical data
2) Sampling and Experimentation
- 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
3) Anticipating Patterns
- Exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation
- Combining independent random variables
-The normal distribution
- Sampling distributions
4) Statistical Inference
- Estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses
- Tests of significance
