Why AP Statistics is a good idea

• More college majors require an Intro Stats course
  than Intro Calculus.
• College credit is a good possibility!
• Research shows that students who take any AP
  course in high school do better in collegeeven
  if they dont pass the AP exam.
• Statistics shows a different side to
  mathematics its unlike any math course students
  have had so far. ?
