Pressure's on...exams start tomorrow

Well, with all of these snow days we've lost some good opportunities to study together. Exams WILL START TOMORROW--that means it's your job to get prepared.

Below I'm posting a breakdown of exactly what's on the exam. Later today I'll be back to post the answers to your homework, in detail, for you to study.

I will not be having any reviews after school--I don't think this would be fair to the B period students. We're a team, so you're going to get the same challenge they did. I have faith though--study these topics below, use the Barron's book, you got this...

AP FREE RESPONSE SECTION (5 questions, you must complete 4)
  1. Linear Regression: interpret slope, intercept, R^2, describe association, know leverage/influence/outliers,
  2. Probability: use the independence formula, use "and" "or" "not" "given," "at least one"
  3. Univariate Data: draw/compare boxplots, use Normal model to find %
  4. Gathering Data: know blocking, create blocks, confounding variables, describe randomization process, generalizing results, experiment vs. obs. study vs. survey

AP MULTIPLE CHOICE SECTION (25 questions + 2 EC)

  1. Linear Regression: 4 questions
  2. Simulations/Surveys/Bias: 5 questions
  3. Univariate Data/Graphical Displays: 7 questions
  4. Probability: 8 questions (independent v. disjoint, tree diagrams, conditional probability, etc.)
  5. Using Normal Model: 3 questions
