Course Synopsis
“Do Haribo Gummy Bears and Black Forest Gummy Bears have the same distribution of each flavor?
In AP Statistics, you will learn how to design and carry out a study to collect and analyze data in order to answer questions like these, and more!
Unlike typical math classes, in AP Statistics we don’t focus as much on procedural calculations, but instead on analyzing and understanding what the calculations are telling us and using them to justify a claim.”
