A.P. Statistics (444-AP)
1 Credit
Grades 11-12
Prerequisites: Minimum 260 RIT on MAP or Teacher recommendation or successful completion of Algebra 2H.

This course is based on the College Board Advanced Placement syllabus and standards and is designed to give students the opportunity to earn a transferable college credit in Statistics. Since AP exams are administered in early May, the rigor and workload in the first three marking periods is significantly greater than that of previous Honors math courses. Students will be expected to work collaboratively outside of class and will have an additional 4 hours per month of class time after school and on Saturdays. Students will learn to compose exemplary responses to be released to AP Free Response problems and evaluate them using the official College Board AP rubrics. Topics of study include sampling and bias, experimental design, summarizing one-variable data, constructing and comparing data displays, probability rules, normal distributions, drawing inferences from one- and two-sample means and proportions, correlation, linear regression, and multiple regression analysis. Completion of the AP exam is required. Students with an 80 average after four marking terms are exempt from the final exam. Students taking this course will be required to complete a summer assignment.
