Honors
/ AP Statistics
Course Information
This year long course covers the content of a typical introductory
college course in statistics. In colleges and universities,
the number of students who take a statistics course is almost
as large as the number of students who take a calculus course.
(At least one statistics course is typically required for majors
such as engineering, psychology, sociology, health science,
mathematics, and business.) This course will be taught as two
one-semester courses. The first semester will provide an overview
and introduction to statistics, and introduce students to the
major concepts and the tools for collecting, analyzing, and
drawing conclusions from data. The second semester will extend
the development of first semester topics and prepare students
for the AP exam. |
**Enrolling schools will be asked to supply the following
student information: PSAT score, EOC Algebra II (raw or adjusted
score), Algebra II teacher recommendation (Please refer to the
document Enrolling in NCSSM Distance Learning AP Courses in
