The Advanced Placement (A.P.) Program of the College Board offers a course and examination in statistics to high school students who wish to complete studies equivalent to a one semester, introductory, non calculus-based college course in statistics. Like the college course, the purpose of the A.P. course in statistics is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. The course is built around four main topics: exploring data, planning a study, probability as it relates to distribution of data, and inferential reasoning. With the possible exception of probability most of the material in this course has not been a part of the traditional secondary mathematics curriculum. This course is an excellent option for interested students who have successfully completed a second year course in Algebra.
