The Practice of Statistics Fourth Edition Prep for the Ap Exam

The Practice of Statistics (TPS) was the first book written specifically for the Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics course. TPS is organized to closely follow the College Board's AP Statistics Course Description and is designed to prepare students for the AP exam. In the fourth edition (TPS 4e), we have made the AP connection even stronger by: • Ensuring that every item on the College Board's "Topic Outline" is covered thoroughly in the text. In addition, we have indicated content that goes beyond the AP syllabus, such as Simpson's paradox, data ethics, and Normal approximation to the binomial. • Continuing to use terms, notation, formulas, and tables that are consistent with those found on the AP Statistics exam. • Following accepted conventions from AP exam rubrics when presenting model solutions. • Adding five-option multiple-choice exercises throughout, as well as an AP Statistics Practice Test at the end of each chapter and four Cumulative AP Practice Tests. • Including AP Exam Tips in the margin where appropriate. • Consulting a Content Advisory Board and supplements team who are intimately familiar with the AP Statistics course and exam.
