Thursday, Friday, Monday HW

I'm on top of my game today...early post...

Here's my plan for your homework for the next few days...

Thursday (page 64): 9, 11, 19, 21 (make a histogram), 29, 31

Friday (page 64): 3, 5, 22, 23, 25, 34, 37

Whenever a problem asks you to "Describe the distribution," you need to talk about "SOCS." That is, "Shape, Outliers, Center, and Spread." Tell me the overall shape of the curve (you may need to look in your book for examples of skewed, symmetric, etc.), whether there appears to be unusual values, give me an approximation of the center of the data (just by looking), and talk about how spread out it is (from "10 to 1,000" for example).

On Monday (in class) you'll work in small groups on some AP-style multiple choice questions regarding quantitative graphs and then Tuesday we'll move into chapter 5.

Your homework Monday night will be to reach chapter 5 (if you want to get ahead). Yes, reading quiz….probably a good idea to start reading now...

Now let's see how class goes today and if this plan actually sticks!

Is all of this stuff supposed to be done out of the book?
