AP Statistics 1 has four main components: describing and analyzing one and two-variable sets of data, planning studies, anticipating patterns, and developing and confirming statistical models. Students design surveys and explore bias, correlation, sampling error, randomization, control groups, and generalization of results. Statistical models are produced using probability, simulation, and statistical inference. Students explore confidence intervals and tests of significance. AP Statistics focuses on word problems using real world data. Mastery of data analysis is a key component of the course. Enrolled students are required to take the AP Statistics exam in May. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Pre-Calculus or Algebra 2 and departmental recommendation
