<p>Hi! I'm going to be in the 10th grade next year and I was wondering if you had advice on this predicament:
I have been approved to take AP Stats but I don't know if my background in math is solid enough. I have taken hnrs. geometry but i plan on self-sudying Algebra 2 this summer (or as much of it as i can finish). So, would this self-study be enough to get an A in stats?</p>
<p>bump </p>
<p>You don’t really need knowledge of algebra 2 for stats–at least that’s how I remember it. Stats has its own formulas to determine probabilities and whatnot. But those formulas aren’t all that complex, mostly just plugging numbers in. I think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>thanks @TheEarlyBird anyone else have suggestions?</p>
<p>You would not have been approved for the class if they didn’t think you could handle it. I think you will be fine.</p>
<p>The only alg/pre-calc material I remember in AP Stats was the use of logarithms (e.g. logarithmic transformation).</p>
<p>Then again, most stats classes in college go more in-depth. AP Stats doesn’t even mention the PDF for a normal distribution.</p>
