Study! If you want some problems to look at, here are some I picked out from chapter 5 that resemble what's on our quiz. These start on page 91:
3,5, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 24(a-d), 29, 31, 37
I know you've done some of these on your homework assignments; these are just the best questions to look at. Here's the format for your quiz:
You have a short answer section that requires you to create a histogram, find mean and standard deviation, describe a distribution, and identify if the mean/st. dev. are appropriate. You're also asked how summary statistics might change if we add a new data value (like #7 on page 92). The other part of this section asks you to read/interpret 4 boxplots and determine how mean is affected by shape.
Then, you'll have an AP question that asks you to create a boxplot and answer a few questions, comparing variability and describing the distributions.
Finally, you'll have 12 multiple questions as a take home portion--but still part of your grade.
