WELCOME TO AP STATISTICS!


I would like to congratulate you on making the decision to embark on this journey through AP Statistics. It is going to be one of great dedication and hard work, which will be followed by great success. In order for you to be successful in this class, we are going to have to work as a team (parents, students, and myself) as the year goes on. Communication between all of us involved will be key to your success. AP Statistics is a course that will be unlike any other math class you have ever taken before! In AP Statistics you will learn to describe and analyze sets of data and use that analysis to draw conclusions about the situations that gave that data. Before taking this course, you will need to be competent in basic algebra, be familiar with basic statistical plots (box-and-whiskers plots, scatter plots, bar graphs, histograms, circle/pie graphs, and stem-and-leaf plots), and you must be willing to explain their answers, not just simply get the correct answer.

I am looking forward to this year and the opportunity of sharing the world of Statistics with you. Please feel free to contact me via email at jackw001@hartfordschools.org with any questions or concerns you may have.
