Rosemount High School, MN

Course Description

This course will provide in depth coverage of the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data.  Topics include Exploring Data (observing patterns and departures from patterns), Planning a Study (deciding what and how to measure), Anticipating Patterns (producing models using probability and simulation) and Statistical Inference (confirming models). While some of these topics are shared with the Functions/ Statistics/ Trigonometry course, the goal of AP Statistics is the extension of these topics and introduction of more advanced ideas to prepare for success on the Advanced Placement Statistics examination.  The Math Research Standard will be offered in this course.

LEVEL 1: Suggested for those students who desire a standard high school curriculum necessary for entrance to most colleges, universities, and technical institutes.

Students who are successful in Algebra II may move to Level 2 below and take Enriched Functions, Statistics and Trigonometry upon recommendation of the instructor.
