This is an Outline of a General Advance-Placement (AP) Statistics Curriculum

Outline

Each topic discussed in the SOCR AP Curricumum should contain the following subsections:

  • Motivation/Problem: A real data set and fundamental challenge.
  • Approach: Models & strategies for solving the problem, data understanding & inference.
  • Model Validation: Checking/affirming underlying assumptions.
  • Computational Resources: Internet-based SOCR Tools (including offline resources, e.g., tables).
  • Examples: computer simulations and real observed data.
  • Hands-on activities: Step-by-step practice problems.
