<p>Hey, anyone had any particular success with a certain stat textbook?</p>
<p>Also, I'm interested in what kind of math is involved with statistics, I'll be taking Calc BC this coming up year and I'm pretty positive I got a 5 on AB, so Calculus would be a plus.</p>
<p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>AP STATISTICS TEXTBOOK:</p>
<ul>
<li>Moore, David S. and George P. McCabe. Intro to Practice of Statistics, 4th Edition</li>
</ul>
<p>*Yates, Daniel S., David S. Moore, and Daren S. Starnes. The Practice of Statistics. New York: W.H. Freeman, 2003</p>
<p>i'm also self-studying AP statistics...i'm not sure which of these textbooks i'm going to use, but both are popular Ap stat books. </p>
<p>anyway, good luck my fellow ap stat self studier.</p>
<p>Bock, Delleman, De Veaux, Stats: Modeling the World. </p>
<p>It's a really good, easy-to-understand textbook. Kind of entertaining too. Good luck!</p>
<p>^^ the editions might be off though (post 2)</p>
<p>Get the book by Yates.</p>
<p>The Practice of Stats is a good book.</p>
<p>Stats can actually be learned quickly through self-study.</p>
<p>Get PR (if you are in a rush) or Barrons (if you have 1-2 months) and go through the book. Pay special attention on hypothesis testing. The 5 is yours.</p>
<p>so a txtbook is not reallt necessary? just barrons and/or PR</p>
<p>no, get the textbook as well.....self-studying AP stats probably isn't like self-studying AP pysch. it's probably a bit more demanding.</p>
<p>You will probably understand everything except hypothesis testing. I don't think any prep book does a very good job of presenting that concept, so if you're foggy on that, then consult a textbook.</p>
