There is baby Stats which is what AP stats is. Next level Stats courses require calculus, and more advanced statistics require even higher calculus. Why?
"Calculus becomes crucial for understanding the mathematical underpinnings of statistics. This includes:
Continuous Probability Distributions: Calculus is used to work with probability density functions (integrals) and other properties.
Proof and Derivation: Proving statistical results, such as conditions for unbiased estimators or the maximum likelihood principle, requires calculus.
Moments and Tail Probabilities: Calculating these statistical measures relies on calculus. "
