Chapter 7/8 Test Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is our last test of the quarter! Study, study, study!

Today in class, we:
  • Reviewed how to "describe an association." (test question)
  • Checked our homework answers (key below) and answered any remaining questions on the homework
  • Watched the "AP Stats Guy" video about R^2 (check out the link on the right!)
  • Started chapter 9 notes!
Here's a breakdown of tomorrow's test: 11 multiple choice, 7 open-ended (complete sentences), 2 "short answer"
  •  Know how correlation changes if we switch units, convert all x/y to z-scores (standardize), or switch the axes (r stays the same!)
  • Find the equation of the LSRL:
    • With a graphing calculator (given data)
    • Algebraically
    • Reading a cpu output
  • Calculate a residual
  • Identify which (of 5) statements has a mistake in interpreting r (correlation)
  • Calculate a predicted value
  • Identify the correlation given a scatterplot
  • Interpret:
    • Slope
    • Y-intercept
    • R^2
  • Determine if a linear model is appropriate (check a scatterplot, residual plot, 2 quantitative variables)
  • Describe an association (shape, direction, strength)
  • Interpret the meaning of a coordinate pair (like the summer assignment question about temp. and ice cream sales)
  • Identify points on a scatterplot with the largest/smallest x or y value


And lastly, here's a copy of the homework answer key so you can use it to study!
