<p>everyone here seems to say that AP stat is a joke for self-study.
Well my son is self-studing this subject because everyone on cc encouraged him to do so. It seems the math part is pretty easy but the statistical concept(how to evalu&analyze data) is awfully hard. He does not think it is a joke! and I feel bad since I encouraged him also. any suggestions on how to help him. How much of this part is significant in the actual AP exam? he is aiming for 5. thanks</p>
<p>unfortunately, knowing the concepts are key to earning a good ap score since the actual math part is relatively easy (only requires Alg 1). It's knowing how and when to apply which formulas that counts.</p>
<p>what part of the evaluation is he having trouble with?</p>
<p>he is having trouble with the stat. inference</p>
<p>stat. inference is a rather broad area....like most of stats in my class. what in particular about it?</p>
<p>thanks for your help, just talked to my son and he some how figured it out. thanks anyway</p>
<p>i have an excellent ap stats book/teacher/review book - we are also covering inference at the moment...have him PM me if he needs any help/explanations.</p>
<p>thanks buff. Ill tell him so</p>
