Statistics is the science of data. In this year-long course, students learn how to represent, interpret, and analyze data. The year begins with an overview of describing data, and then quickly moves into problem solving-based learning through concepts such as the normal distribution, regression analysis, probability, and hypothesis testing. Additionally, students learn how to use Excel to analyze real data sets and create graphs. The course includes multiple projects each semester, including a final independent project designed by each student. In May, students will have the option to take the AP Statistics exam.
