Description
This AP Statistics course is an online and individually-paced course covering topics in Probability, Regression Analysis, and Sampling Distributions. While taking the Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics exam is not required, this course prepares students to succeed on the AP Statistics exam and subsequent courses that draw on material from this course. Computer based interactives and homework assignments help to reinforce concepts taught in the course.
Each student is assigned to a CTY instructor to help them during their course. Students can contact their instructor via email with any questions or concerns at any time. Students will learn statistics by reading from the textbook, watching online videos, interacting with online resources, and solving many practice problems through homework and quizzes.
Live one-on-one online review sessions can be scheduled as well to prepare for the graded assessments, which include homework, quizzes, projects, chapter exams, a midterm exam, and a cumulative final. Exams contain both multiple choice and free response questions modeled after the AP Statistics exam. Instructors use virtual classroom software allowing video, voice, text, screen sharing and whiteboard interaction.
This course has been reviewed and approved by the College Board to use the "AP" designation.
