This AP Statistics study guide covers the fundamentals of data analysis, focusing on univariate data. It explains the difference between quantitative (numerical, average-able) and categorical (groups, proportions) data. Key concepts include COSS (Center, Outliers, Spread, Shape) for describing quantitative data, using proportions for categorical data, and the importance of context in statistical analysis. The guide also includes practice questions and exam tips.

Hey there, future AP Stats superstar! This guide is designed to be your best friend as you prep for the exam. Let's break down the key concepts, make sure you're feeling confident, and get you ready to crush it!

#What is Statistics? 🤔

Statistics is all about making sense of data. We collect it, analyze it, and use it to draw conclusions about the world around us. Think of it as detective work with numbers!

Data Collection

Data collection is the first step in statistical analysis.

We'll be focusing on univariate data in this unit—that's data with only one variable being measured. We'll divide this data into two types: quantitative and categorical.

# Quantitative Data 🔢

Quantitative data is all about numbers! Think of things you can measure, like test scores, heights, or the number of items. The key thing is that you can calculate an average (mean) with this type of data.

Key Concept

Quantitative data is average-able. We use measures like the mean, median, and standard deviation to describe it.

Example: Let's say you have the following exam scores: 80, 90, 70, 85, and 75. To find the average, you add them up (80 + 90 + 70 + 85 + 75 = 400) and divide by the number of scores (5). So, your average score is 400 / 5 = 80.

Remember: Quantitative = Quantity = Numbers

# Categorical Data 📊

Categorical data is about groups or categories. Think of things like favorite colors, types of pets, or survey responses (y...
