Book Description

Get ready to master the concepts of AP Statistics and ace your exam! MasterMath: AP® Statistics is a comprehensive reference guide written specifically for AP Statistics students, covering all the topics of AP Statistics in a simple, easy-to-follow style and format. Suitable for a wide variety of ability levels, this book explains and clarifies the various concepts of AP Statistics including exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference. The example problems in each chapter are written with the AP Statistics Exam in mind to help you understand the concepts and learn how to effectively answer the exam questions. You'll also find useful appendices that will help you prepare for the exam, including all the tables and formulas that are given and needed, as well as a quick-reference summary of assumptions and conditions for inference. A helpful glossary will help you brush up on terminology. Master Math: AP® Statistics is an invaluable resource for anyone studying and preparing for the AP Statistics Exam.
