The Practice of Statistics for the AP® Course, 7th Edition, is a statistics textbook designed to support AP Statistics instruction in high school classrooms. Authored by Daren Starnes and Josh Tabor, the text guides students through principles of statistical thinking and problem-solving methods.
The material is structured around nine units that align directly with the College Board AP® Statistics Course and Exam Description. Coverage progresses from early exploratory data analysis of one-variable and two-variable data to methods for collecting sample surveys, observational studies, and controlled experiments. The text then addresses probability concepts, random variables, and sampling distributions.
Throughout each chapter, worked examples and targeted practice exercises mirror the AP exam format to assist students with test preparation routines. This structure offers practical learning support for high school AP Statistics students and teachers.
