WELCOME TO AP STATISTICS
Our Motto
What would happen if the fire fighters did not work hard?
What is misleading here?
What the AP Statistics class covers and how much of each topic is on the test:
I. Exploring Data 20-30%II. Sampling and Experimentation
10-15%III. Anticipating Patterns 20-30%IV. Inference 30-40%
The AP Test now blends the topics so a topic may be covered more than
once on the test!
Expectations: Rich context Formulate and test hypotheses Be willing to discuss what you
are seeing Be willing to be wrong Be precise and communicate
ideas fully Be able to communicate as if
you did not have a calculator at hand
Be able to define all symbols clearly
