[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They focus on study design?  Ugh.

I’m just sniping from the sidelines here, but stats for highschoolers should really be foundational: distributions, expectations and parametrization, distributions over multiple variables and all the relationships between conditional and joint distributions.  That sets kids up for a lot of different directions: social psych inference and stats (study design), or stochastic processes (temporal domain), or filtering and linear systems, or engineering inference, or machine learning (prob in the linear algebra setting), etc.  Plus it teaches kids how to think about uncertainty and variation and how we deal with it.

Its too bad if kids taking AP stats get specialized into social psych in the course.[/quote]

Here you go, PP: https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-statistics/course-details

Read this before you snipe from the sidelines.:-)[/quote]

Yes, PP, you are describing a very different course.  AP Statistics, is really just statistical literacy--can you interpret information that is presented in statistical form and use terminology correctly.  Check out a sample test, it's quicker than wading through the course description.[/quote]
