AP Statistics

From predicting election results to ranking your favorite songs, statistics are everywhere. In a world driven by data—whether in AI models, medical research, sports analytics, or social media trends—understanding how to collect, analyze, and interpret information is more essential than ever. AP Statistics gives students the tools to do just that.

This university-level course (non-calculus based) introduces students to the key concepts of data analysis and statistical reasoning. Students learn how to design surveys and experiments, calculate probabilities, model relationships, and make informed conclusions from real-world data. Topics include descriptive statistics, probability, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and linear regression. Through technology, hands-on investigations, and problem-solving, students gain the skills to understand uncertainty, identify patterns, and make data-driven decisions.

AP Statistics is highly relevant across disciplines—from business and psychology to biology, nursing, political science, and engineering. It’s an ideal course for students who enjoy real-world applications of math and want a head start in any data-focused career path.
