Students who have other options and interests, however, should be aware that AP Statistics is accepted for course credit and placement by fewer colleges than many other AP subjects.
Course Description
Studying statistics will help you better understand how to collect and analyze data as well as how to read experiments and studies with a more critical eye. AP® Statistics is part of a two-semester course sequence. Completing both courses will prepare you for the College Board Advanced Placement exam and for taking statistics at the university level. The first semester focuses on collecting and presenting data, probability, and how to conduct surveys, studies, and experiments. The second semester focuses on sampling distributions, confidence intervals, tests of significance, and review of Semester A topics. The practice of statistics is a useful tool to better understand the world around us, and therefore the concepts are presented in a context of real-world scenarios.
Advanced Placement (AP®) courses are equivalent to college-level courses. We highly recommend that you read the College Board’s AP® Statistics Course Overviewand AP® Statistics Course Description before beginning this course.
