- Mean, Median, and Mode - These three measures are your go‑to squad for finding the center of any data set. The mean gives an overall average (but can be thrown off by outliers), the median locks down the middle value, and the mode points to the most frequent guest. Need a formula refresher?

- Standard Deviation and Variance - Here's how you quantify data spread: variance squares each deviation and averages them (Variance = Σ(X - μ)² / (n - 1)), while standard deviation brings it back to the original units. The bigger the result, the more scattered your data. Crunch the numbers with this handy guide: AP Statistics Formulas - Statistics How To
- Empirical Rule - If your data plays nice with a normal curve, about 68% falls within 1 standard deviation, 95% within 2, and a whopping 99.7% within 3. This quick rule of thumb helps you eyeball where most of your values live. Get more deets here: Statistics Final Exam Study Guide: Key Concepts & Formulas - Student Notes
- Z-Scores - Z-scores turn raw values into standardized scores by calculating (x - μ) / σ, so you can compare apples and oranges. A positive z-score means you're above the mean, and a negative z-score shows you're below. Find all the essential formulas here: AP Statistics Formula Sheet: Essential Equations for the Exam
- Sampling Distributions & Central Limit Theorem - Sampling distributions show how a statistic (like the mean) varies from sample to sample. The Central Limit Theorem then swoops in to tell us that, as sample sizes grow, the distribution of sample means looks more and more like a normal curve. Trust the magic of numbers with this overview: AP Statistics Formulas - Statistics How To
- Confidence Intervals - Want a range that likely captures the true population parameter? Use: Sample statistic ± Critical value × Standard error, and voila! A 95% confidence interval means you'd capture that parameter in 95 out of 100 samples. Practice constructing them here: AP Statistics Formulas - Stat Trek
- Hypothesis Testing - This is your statistical showdown: state H₀ and H, pick a significance level (like α=0.05), calculate your test statistic, then decide to reject or fail to reject H₀. It's basically a scientific trial by numbers that keeps your conclusions legit. Brush up on each step: AP Statistics Formulas - Statistics How To
- Linear Regression - Model the relationship between two variables using ŷ = b₀ + bx, where b is your slope and b₀ is your intercept. This equation predicts outcomes and tells you how strongly variables are tied together. Get your regression gears turning: AP Statistics Formulas - Statistics How To
- Chi-Square Tests - Perfect for categorical data, the chi-square test (Χ² = Σ[(O - E)² / E]) checks if your observed frequencies match expected ones. It's like a detective making sure your data's categories behave as predicted. Solve those frequency mysteries here: AP Statistics Formulas - Stat Trek
- Probability Rules - The Addition Rule (P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)) and Multiplication Rule (P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)) form your probability power duo. Whether you're combining events or finding joint chances, these formulas are your toolkit for risk assessment. Level up your probability prowess here: AP Statistics Formulas - Statistics How To
