A fun (yes, fun) and unique math course where you gain real-world knowledge!

2 of 4

WHO?�SHOULD TAKE AP STATISTICS?

That are also taking Precalculus or Calculus
That do not want to take Precalc or Calc, but need another math credit and who also did well in prior math course (A or B)

I do not recommend this course for Freshmen; there is no rush; you have three more years…..save yourself something to look forward to ☺

WHY?�TAKE AP STATISTICS?

Statistics is a course required in almost every college major – take it now! So you don’t have to take it (or pay for it) later
THE MOST RELEVANT (real world) MATH COURSE THAT EXISTS!
Increase your GPA with a 5.0!
Improve that college application “resume”
Counts as a math credit;

if you like math, why not take another (and unique this time) math course?
if you don’t like math ☹, this is much different than algebra-based math courses like pre-calc or calculus; buck the trend and take something different

WHAT?�IS AP STATISTICS?

A combination of math, reasoning, written communication, logic
Helps make sense of graphical displays
Use your reasoning skills to interpret bar-graphs, scatterplots, histograms, and the all important “Normal” curve
Develop an understanding of data and the correct ways to describe same
Learn what is meant by “margin of error”, “statistically significant”, the erroneous “law of averages”, and much much more!
In general - Interpret and communicate your analysis of data
