Introduction:
Welcome to AP
Statistics! We want to start by saying we are so excited you are taking the
course, and we are looking forward to getting to know each and every one of
you. Below are the directions for the
summer assignment. The purpose of this assignment is to get us off to a strong
start by getting comfortable with Data Analysis that you should have talked
about in other classes before, and to have a working knowledge of the
vocabulary that is crucial to the course. This will ensure that we have
sufficient time to cover all of the material in the course and ample time to
review for the AP exam. Chapter 1 is mostly a review of concepts you have
learned in previous math courses, but you will need to focus on the new AP
Statistic vocabulary. Please read these directions carefully, and contact us by
email at straubj@calvertnet.k12.md.us
or halsteadr@calvertnet.k12.md.us
if you have any questions about the
assignment, or require clarification about our expectations of the work that
you do. We don’t want to take up too
much of your summer with school-work, but this work should just take a couple
of hours to do. Do not wait until the
day before school starts to do this assignment but also do not start it right
away in June either. Give your mind a
chance for a little down time and recharge.
A good start target date might be mid-July. Think of this packet as an opportunity to lay
a solid foundation that will help you throughout the remainder of the
year. This information will be used
throughout the year and the better you know it the more successful you will be
in the class. We will have a take home
test that will assess the topics covered in this packet that will be a
100-point product grade. The packet
itself will be a 100-point process grade.
If you need more room for work, attach lined paper, and be sure to write
the page and question number.
