Hey guys, I was looking at course offerings and stumbled across 'AP Statistic' and 'AP Statistics'. Is there a difference between these two courses or are they just different names for the same thing? Thanks!
It's likely that "AP Statistic" and "AP Statistics" are just different names for the same course! There shouldn't be any actual differences in the content of the course between these two titles. AP Statistics is an Advanced Placement course offered by the College Board that focuses on teaching high school students statistics, data analysis, and critical thinking through the use of real-world examples. The course typically covers topics such as descriptive statistics, probability, and inferential statistics.
It's most likely that the "AP Statistic" you found is just an abbreviation or a typo, but you may want to double-check with your school counselor just to be sure. Good luck with your course selection!
