AP Statistics Curriculum Guide

The document outlines the key concepts covered in 7 units of a statistics course. Unit 1 explores representing and analyzing quantitative and categorical data. Unit 2 covers two-variable data including correlation, regression, and residual plots. Unit 3 discusses experimental design and potential sources of bias. Unit 4 covers probability, random variables, and distributions. Unit 5 introduces sampling distributions and simulation. Units 6 and 7 focus on statistical inference for proportions, means, and comparing populations including confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, and Type I and II errors.
