This qualitative study analyzes the effects of an Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics course upon a student typically not permitted to take such a class. The researcher examined students enrolled in AP Statistics at a high school in North Florida. The school has broadened its base of AP students, thus including students whom in the past may have been left out of the program. The data in this study includes observations, student surveys, and case studies of the two participants. The researcher discusses any changes in performance, attitude, self-confidence, or anything else affected by participation in the course. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Middle and Secondary Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / Summer Semester, 2004. / June 21, 2004. / Advanced Placement, Statistics / Includes bibliographical references. / Elizabeth Jakubowski, Professor Directing Thesis; Leslie Aspinwall, Committee Member; Matthew Clark, Committee Member.
