curriculum note

This video was recorded for the 2020 AP Statistics exam, which excluded Unit 8 (Chi-Square) and Unit 9 (Slopes/Regression Inference) due to COVID exam changes — the instructor explicitly tells students to cross those sections off. Both units ARE on the current AP Statistics exam. The online submission exam format discussed is also outdated.
