Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes:1.Exploring Data: Describing patterns and departures from patterns2.Sampling and Experimentation: Planning and conducting a study3.Anticipating Patterns: Exploring random phenomena using probabilityand simulation4.Statistical Inference: Estimating population parameters and testing hypothesesStudents who successfully complete the course and exam may receive credit, advanced placement or both for a one-semester introductory college statistics course. This does not necessarily imply that the high school course should be one semester long. Each high school needs to determine the length of its AP Statistics course to best serve the needs of its students. Statistics, like some other AP courses, could be effectively studied in a one-semester, a two-trimester or a one-year course. Most schools, however, offer it as a one-year course.For More information please go to AP Stat Home Page Prerequisite: Successful completion of Accelerated Math III or Math IV.Course Objectives:The objective of this course is to provide students with a introductory look into the study of statistics. Students are to use technology, such as graphing calculators (TI-84) and/or computer programs (eg. Excel) to study, analyze, and model the collection of data. Students are to make inferences about the data (real world or student generated) and communicate and present the conclusion and results in a meaning manner through the terminologies of statistics. Technology:Graphing calculators is necessary to successfully complete this course. TI-84 and comparable graphing calculators would be recommended. Students are to use the graphing calculators in class in several ways, such as analyze of data and simulation of data generation.Projects:The courses will include two major projects connecting several of the major concepts of statistics the students are require to complete. In one of the projects, students will design a survey to collect data, create suitable model to analyze the data, provide inferences for the analysis and interpret and communicate the results in a meaningful way. In the other project, students are to apply these statistical concepts and knowledge in a study of real life data (current and historical) and interpret and communicate the data as to make an impact in our society.

Students at Jonesboro High School are expected to submit work for evaluation that has been completed solely by that student, unless group assignments have been so designated. The following actions are considered to be violations of academic integrity:Using or receiving unauthorized materials in a test situation.Passing on test answers and/or questions to someone who has not taken the test.Turning in work for credit that is not the student’s own (i.e. gross plagiarism).If a student is found to be in violation of the academic policy, the following measures should be taken:The student will receive a zero on the assignment and will not be allowed to complete the same.The teacher will inform the parent/guardian.Additional disciplinary action may be taken by the administration if warranted.Classroom Rules:Always follow the instructions of the teacher.Respect fellow classmates and the teacher.Raise your hand and wait for your turn to speak, do not talk out of turn/interrupt.No food and drink in classroom, except bottled water.Classroom Discipline Procedures: The following procedures will be followed when a student violates the classroom rules or disrupts the classroom learning process. First infraction: Verbal warning with name on the board.Second infraction: After school suspension and phone call to parents.Third infraction: Office Referral and contact with parents.Bathroom Procedures: Each student will receive five bathroom passes per semester for emergency use to the bathroom. The student who wishes to use the bathroom will produce his or her own grid and get the teacher’s signature. Moreover, each student will only be allowed to use the bathroom five times per semester. Exceptions can be made with proper medical documentation.Make-Up Work:It is the responsibility of the student to request make-up work IMMEDIATELY after returning to school from an absence. Students have three (3) school days to complete and submit make-up work to teachers. Make-up work will not be given after three (3) or more days have passed without the student requesting make-up work.EXAMS: If a student missed an exam while absent, that exam must be made-up after school in the presence of the teacher.“On Time, on task, on a mission!” ................
