This series ended on July 28, 2023. All 1:1 and group chats related to this series are disabled 7 days after the last session.

About

We will be going over one variable data, two variable data, methods of collecting data, probability, and random variables. Based on the College Board Units, I will be covering Units 1 through 4. As for the calculations involved, the calculator method will usually be preferred over the handwritten ones. We will be working with the TI-84, and a link to an online emulator will be provided if needed. This series is not structured around the Khan Academy curriculum. Some topics may not be in the same order as expected. 

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕤 𝕖𝕩𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕕:
Learners will need to have a basic algebra understanding and be relatively fluent in English writing, as both are used often in AP Stats.

𝕎𝕙𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕤𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝕗𝕠𝕣:
- Learners who are going into or have an interest in an AP Statistics class in the following school year (i.e. fall)
- Highly motivated and committed learners that enjoy math

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕗𝕣𝕠𝕞 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕤𝕖:
- An understanding of about 1/3 to half of the AP stats curriculum
- Tips that may help you on the exam
- How to use the graphing calculator (TI 84)
- How to read and use parts of the formula sheet

Status: Busy & Inactive 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 & 𝙃𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙞𝙚𝙨 Hi, I'm a high schooler from Massachusetts and I like to mess around with computers when I'm free. Also like to take things apart. My main interests are cybersecurity and technology (by that I really just mean computers). I love math and science, just more math than science. I ❤️ stats Some understanding of programming languages, at most intermediate. I tend to be straightforward ... not sure if that's good or bad ... and somehow I write in paragraphs 😅 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙪𝙥𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨/𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨: - A very simple intro to Linux commands - The Art of Googling Busy prepping for standardized tests atm :)
