Features
Boost Your Student’s AP® Exam Success with Integrated AP® Support!
If you want your students to excel on the AP® Exam, you need them to practice every day, not just cramming during last-minute review sessions. That's why our authors have created a comprehensive program that will help them naturally perfect the material and build skills over time.
Here's what sets our program apart:
Reinforced Skill Categories: Our text includes hundreds of worked examples and thousands of exercises labeled with the specific skills they address. You'll have plenty of opportunities to practice and reinforce your understanding of the four AP® Statistics skill categories.
Exam-Focused Solutions: The modeled solutions in our textbook and companion videos follow the accepted conventions for the AP® Statistics exam rubrics. You'll learn how to approach problems in a way that aligns with what the College Board is looking for.
Formula Sheet Consistency: The formulas and notation used in TPS 7e are exactly the same as the ones provided on the AP® exam formula sheet. You won't have to worry about learning different notation or formulas.
In-Text Exam Tips: Throughout the text, you'll find helpful tips and guidance on how to study and prepare for the exam. We'll show you common mistakes to avoid and provide valuable hints to increase your chances of success. Plus, we'll point you to useful College Board resources at the right moments.
Supported Examples and Exercises: Our approach includes 172 worked examples that are paired with parallel exercises. This way, you not only have practice problems, but you also get support along the way. You'll have a detailed response modeled after a complete, well-written solution.
Comprehensive Practice: With over 1600 integrated problems, you'll have ample opportunities to apply your knowledge and test your understanding. From "Check Your Understanding" exercises to challenging "Recycle and Review" problems, we've got you covered. Plus, at the end of each section, there are Investigation problems that will help you apply your skills in new and nonroutine ways.
Unit Summaries and Practice: Each unit concludes with a thorough summary that identifies related examples and exercises for each learning target. You'll also find focused review exercises and an AP® Statistics practice test to ensure you're fully prepared.
Cumulative Practice Tests: To help you tackle the full complexity of the AP® Statistics Exam, we've included four cumulative practice tests. These tests increase in complexity as you progress, culminating in a complete model exam.
Video Support: Need extra help? We've got you covered with 350 worked example and exercise videos. Our experienced AP® Statistics instructor will guide you step-by-step through each problem. You can also access unit review exercise videos to prepare for tests and assess your mastery of the content.
Hands-On Activities: To make learning statistics more engaging, we've integrated 27 hands-on activities throughout the units. These activities allow you to learn through simulation and by "doing" statistics. They're perfect for collaborative learning and deeper investigation.
Technology Corners: If you're using a TI-84 graphing calculator, our detailed instructions with screen captures will guide you through creating graphs and performing important statistical analyses. We also offer instructions for TI-Nspire on our student site and digital platform. Plus, we provide free applets that support simulation and hands-on learning.
Prepare for the AP® Exam like never before with our comprehensive and student-friendly integrated support. Start practicing every day and see the difference it makes on exam day!
Achieve: Experience enhanced support with our acclaimed content and resources, now integrated with BFW Publishers new Achieve digital platform - formerly SaplingPlus. This revamped online homework system provides an extensive suite for online homework and assessments, offering thorough assistance for daily assignments, quizzes, and tests.
New to This Edition
The enhanced seventh edition of Starnes and Tabor’s The Practice of Statistics for the AP® Course closely aligns with the College Board’s latest Course and Exam Description (CED), ensuring that all essential knowledge, objectives, vocabulary, and formulas/tables are included.
We've taken the time to update the examples and exercises, giving them meaningful and engaging contexts that incorporate recent studies and data. Students will be able to connect with the content in a way that feels relevant and interesting.
TPS7 also introduces a new exercise category called "For investigation," which specifically focuses on preparing students for the Investigative Task. This addition will help students develop the skills they need for success.
In addition, we're proud to offer Achieve, a comprehensive e-book and Online Homework resource designed specifically for this edition. With approximately 2000 questions, including all recommended assignments from the Teacher's Edition, students will have ample opportunity to practice and learn. Plus, with guided feedback on incorrect answers, students can continue to learn from their mistakes.
For teachers, we've fully updated the teacher resources suite to match the seventh edition. The new Teacher's Edition, written by AP® Statistics teacher and AP® table leader, Doug Tyson, provides invaluable support. And with the new cloud-based Test Bank platform (optimized for both PC and Mac), featuring hundreds of additional problems, teachers can easily find and assign extra practice or assessment material.
With all these updates and improvements, we are confident that this new edition will meet the needs of both students and teachers. It's time to dive in and excel in AP® Statistics!
