The intent of the AP Statistics curriculum is to offer a modern introduction to statistics that is equal to the best college courses in an intellectual content and in its alignment with the contemporary practice of statistics. Students will interpret data displays, summarize distributions, and compare distributions of one and two variables. Students will plan and conduct statistical studies. They will study probability and use it in simulations. Finally, students will learn to construct confidence intervals and perform significance testing.
