AP Statistics Syllabus

Ramsay High School

Course and AP Test Overview: The AP Statistics Course covers four main areas of
study: exploratory analysis, planning and conducting a study, probability, and statistical
inference.
 Exploratory analysis ( 20-30% of exam) – Students will make connections
between numerical and graphical techniques. They will look for patterns and work
on describing the important characteristics
 Planning and Conducting a study ( 10-15% of exam)- Students will learn to
develop a plan for conducting a study and understand that this is fundamental to
gathering valid information
 Probability (20-30% of exam)- Probability describes a pattern that will emerge
over a long time. Probability is fundamental to anticipating a distribution
 Statistical Inference (30-40% of exam)- Models are used to draw conclusions
about data. “Inference from data can be thought of as the process of selecting a
reasonable model, including a statement in probability language, of how confident
one can be about the selection” - AP College Board

The AP Statistics test is composed of 40 multiple choice questions and 6 free response
questions. Students have 90 minutes to complete the multiple choice section and 90
minutes to complete the free response section.

Reading and Writing: AP Statistics is not your typical course. In this course, students
will be analyzing a variety of data. This course focuses strongly on procedural
understanding and the ability to express findings. Statistics have a special language. In
order for students to gain a deep understanding of the language, students must read and
study the textbook and work practice problems. Students will need to develop a study
habit that allows time for deliberate reading of the text. Students will be required to write
in complete sentences using the appropriate vocabulary.
Communication is extremely important. Students will learn to be questioners and
investigators of data. They should asks questions, make decisions, and justify their
choices. Throughout the year, we will be collecting a variety of data, creating graphical
displays of the data, linking vocabulary to the data, and explaining the data within
context. The key is that students learn to formulate their thoughts and express them
clearly in a written form.
We will also have outside reading from newspapers where statistics are displayed.
Students will learn to question the statistics; they will look at the presentation, the design
of the study, and the interpretation to determine if they have been manipulated to
influence the average reader.
Students will apply their writing skills in various Homework and Classwork
exercises. The syllabus breaks down the Homework and Classwork for each week. They
will be given AP free response questions from previous years’ tests. Students should
complete these using their notes and the text. As students become comfortable with the
format, they should be able to complete a free response question in 12-minutes. Students
will learn about the grading procedure because we will look at the scoring rubrics
associated with the questions.

Activities: Various activities will be incorporated into the class to engage students in
collecting, displaying, and interpreting data; conducting hands-on simulation; and
creating valid studies. Many of these activities will include food such as M& Ms,
Skittles, Animal Crackers, and Jelly Beans. For this reason, I will need to know of any
food allergies. In addition, many of the activities will include the collection of personal
data such as, arm length, head circumference, hours worked…This information is not to
be invasive but rather to collect data that will engage students in the learning process.
Many of the activities are listed in the syllabus, but more will be added as I collaborate
with other teachers of AP Statistics

 In Homework and Classwork section this will be referred to as POD

Technology: Students will be using their calculators to perform many statistical tests.
The importance of the technology is for students to be able to explain why they have
chosen particular tests and what the calculator output means within context. They should
never use calculator- speak, such as “I then used two-sample T test and got…” They
should always show the basics of the formula and explain within context. Here are some
of the skills with the calculator that students will master during the course,
Experimental Design: random number generating
Univariate Data: graphical displays including histograms and modified boxplot. They
also learn how to calculate one-variable statistics
Bivariate Data: scatter plots, least-squares regression calculations, residual plots,
the use of lists and formulas, transformation of data using logarithms
Random Variables: using lists to calculate expected value and standard deviation
Probability Distributions: combinations, binomial probability distributions, binomial
cumulative distribution, geometric probability distributions, and geometric probability
cumulative distribution.
Inference: Z-interval, 1-Proportion Z Interval, 2-Proportion Z-interval, T-Test, 2-
Sample T-Test, 1-Proportion Z-Test, 2-Proportion Z-Test, Z-Test, entering a matrix,
Chi-squared Test, Linear Regression T-Test.
 Overview of the Year

Assignments are subject to change. Projects and additional assignments will be added at
appropriate times. Quizzes will be given as needed on any previously covered material.
Midpoint tests, 9-weeks tests, and semester exams are cumulative.

*** Special Note: Practice Tests have answers in the back of the book. When I
assign a practice test in the book, please follow directions. For all multiple choice,
choose an answer and write your explanation for choosing that answer. Upon
completing the chapter test, take out another color pen and correct the entire test.
For each problem missed, go back to the chapter and indicate why the answer is “c”
rather than “b”****
