Dear AP Stats,

Dear AP Stats,
You have forever changed my outlook of the world. You and your histograms and stem plots occasionally caused me to throw my hands in the air and ask "why?", but you knew what was best for me. You taught me how to differentiate between biased and unbiased statistics by looking at how questions were asked. And how could I forget probability. I now understand that the probability of selecting a Jack on the first draw and then a 5 on the next is .00793 and that a game of Texas Hold'em is a lot harder than it looks. I still don't completely understand how to effectively use probability, but I promise, I am trying my best. However, I am sad to say that by May, you have a high probability of being dumped on the street again. Sorry.
