Summer Assignment-AP Statistics Welcome to AP STATS. Some of you may ask what is stats , stats is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data. It deals with all aspects of data including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments. We will be dealing with how companies gather data important to decision making and how they interpret it to make decisions. This class is not like any other one you have taken before. This class requires a lot of your time and you cannot slack off. There are some key things that need to be done in order to prepare for the coming school year.
1. Make an account of Schoology.com . You will need the following code to join the class. CODE: st F5BRN-QZPJ2 . This is due by July 1
2. Join Shmoop, join the AP Stats classroom, and take the diagnostic test, any two drills, and read any two review topics. Go to http://www.shmoop.com/signup/centinelaUHSD-students. Sign up with the Magic Word (CUHSDROCKS), choose our school, and create your username and password. Log on using www.shmoop.com. Join my classroom (Mr. Espinoza AP Stats), using the classroom code (c548c), and my email (
[email protected]). I will be able to monitor your progress and completion of the diagnostic test through my own teacher account. If you have problems, please email me. This must be done by July 11th
3. You will have to do the basic skills packet Due first day of school
4. You will have to read the Chapter 1 packet and define the words on the next page. This must be typed and uploaded to schoology by August 1st
5. You will have to do packet on experimental design. Due first day of school
6. You will need to check schoology once a week for discussion questions . The first three are already up.
7. We will meet face to face during August.
Like your other summer assignments this assignment is expected to be done over multiple days in the summer. If you are reading this on August 15th , then you will have a very long day ahead of you. This summer assignment requires internet access. If you do not think you can get to a computer with internet access or otherwise need help from me, please call post on schoology or send an e-mail to
[email protected] . or
[email protected]. The assignments will help me assess how much you already know about introductory statistics and also learn what kind of data you are interested in learning how to analyze.
Keep in mind that: 1.This is different than any other math class you have ever taken! 2.You must be competent in basic algebra. 3.You must be willing to explain your answers. Simply getting the correct numerical answer WILL NOT be sufficient for this course. 4.You must own your own calculator and bringing it and your textbook to class daily is a REQUIREMENT . A TI-83is the minimum calculator needed for the course, but the TI84 is recommended.( You might be able to check one out from library ) (Try EBay or Craigslist) 5.Remember this is an AP Course. Do not expect this to be an “easy course.”Let me reiterate: THIS IS NOT AN EASY COURSE! Although it may not seem as difficult computationally as other higher math courses, it requires a great deal of outside reading and homework, and it requires a thorough understanding of many abstract concepts. You must keep up with the pace of the class, and seek additional help after school as needed.
. Completing this assignment will have you prepared for some of the early concepts in the course. It is recommended that you use online sources to complete this assignment. A great site to use for a resource is www.stattrek.com. On the left hand side of the page there is a BROWSE box. Click on AP Statistics under the TUTORIALS heading.

*****In algebra 2 there are 2 topics that should have been covered called permutations and combinations . If you have not seen this topic you need to brush up .
