Meets W3 in Rm 23
Course Overview
This college-level, full year course in statistics is equivalent to one semester of statistics at most universities. It is a vigorous course introducing students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Topics include exploration of data and describing patterns, sampling and experimentation of planning and conducting studies, anticipating patterns and exploring random phenomena using probability and simulations, statistical inferences, estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses. More information can be found at http://www.collegeboard.com. A graphing calculator is required and a TI–84 is used in instruction. All students must commit to take the AP Statistics Exam in May.
Course Expectations
Students are expected to comply with the MHS Code of Cooperation.
