Includes questions and answers on Exploratory Analysis, Collecting and Producing Data, Probability, and Statistical Inference. Don't just learn why your answer is correct--learn the rationale behind why each other answer choice is incorrect, thereby reinforcing the facts you need to know in order to answer each question correctly on your AP exam. This AP Questions and Answers test prep guide has been created specifically to help you hone your critical thinking skills, give you exposure to all of the AP-style question types such as multiple-choice, numeric response, and short and long free-response questions, and maximize your understanding of content and concepts through comprehensive explanations. It's an excellent tool for concentrated test preparation that works well alone and is doubly effective with the corresponding Barron's AP subject test review book.
