AP Exam Tip: When explaining how a sample design leads to bias, be sure to explain how the sample responses might differ from the population responses AND how this might lead to an estimate that is higher or lower than the truth. #apstats#MTBoS#statschat
AP Exam Tip: Use -ly words to avoid making too bold of a statement. “The data are approximate-ly normal. The scatterplot is fair-ly linear. The residual plot shows a slight-ly curved pattern. #apstats#MTBoS#statschat
AP Exam Tip: If you are using a calculator command to answer a free response question, be sure to label each input. Example: binomialpdf(n=20, p=0.80, X=14) #apstats#MTBoS#statschat
AP Exam Tip: When asked to compare two distributions, be sure to compare shape, center, and variability in the context of problem. Don’t simply list. Use words like “greater than, less than, similar to”. #apstats#MTBoS#statschat#SOCV

So proud of Fatuma! I’m so glad I have been able to learn from how caring and how hard working she is the past two years. Excited to see what the future brings!

Daily optional lessons for most AP courses will begin tomorrow on YouTube. https://t.co/cBkitRncGA. More coming soon.
Lessons will be delivered by AP teachers from across the country and can be used alongside work your teachers are giving you.
Teachers are welcome to join.
The at-home AP Exams this year will not include any multiple-choice questions, only free-response questions adapted for secure testing at home. They will measure skills that can't be learned from Google or chats with friends. By April 3, we will post the specifics for each exam.
During this challenging time, we will work to give every AP student the opportunity to earn the college credit and placement they’ve been working toward all year while maintaining a focus on the health and safety of our AP community.
More details here: https://t.co/OfDo1JWd6a.
Because of the challenges created by COVID-19, we’re developing a new at-home AP Exam option. You will be able to test on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
