Test Breakdown:
- The test includes both open ended and 6 multiple choice questions!
- For multiple choice, there is no partial credit
- Read carefully! Read every multiple choice option and think about each thoroughly!
- Write down notes/work for each multiple choice option!
- Don't leave any multiple choice blank!
- You have to know what you're doing to finish the test on time!
- It's going to be tough...come in (early if you want a couple extra minutes), get seated, and start! Stay focused!
- Do what you know first! Anything blank is incorrect!
- Determine if a variable is quantitative or categorical (ch. 2)
- Reading histograms...(ch. 4)
- Find sample size, median, and describe shape
- Determine if values are outliers (fences!) (ch. 5)
- Calculating probabilities (like our Titanic stamp problem!) (ch. 3)
- Describing distributions:(ch. 4 and 5)
- Shape, outliers, center, spread (know how to describe each!)
- Know the "appropriate summary statistics," depending on shape
- Know how mean/median compare for different shapes (of distributions) (ch. 5)
- Creating histograms (ch. 4)
- Creating boxplots (both with and without the calculator) (ch. 5)
- Comparing distributions (primarily boxplots) (ch. 4 and 5)
- Finding an average of 2 samples (like that hw problem, p. 97, 37f)
- Know how measures of center (mean, median, mode, midrange) and spread (range, standard deviation/variance, IQR) are affected by extreme values (ch. 5)
- Match boxplots/histograms (ch. 4 and 5)
- Reading graphical displays for categorical data (bar graph, relative bar graph) (ch. 3)
