Quiz/Test/Quest Thing Tomorrow!

Here's what's on tomorrow's test? quiz? quest?:
  • 10 multiple choice questions
  • 6 open ended (writing) questions (provided in bold)
  • 3 short answer questions (identifying different points in a scatterplot)
Topics on the Quest:
  • Know how correlation is affected by converting data to z scores (standardizing)
  • Know how to find the correlation (r) from R^2: remember to check the slope to see if it's + or -
  • Use a linear model to make predictions
  • Calculate residuals: use a linear model to make a prediction, then find actual - predicted
  • Interpret slope!
  • Interpret y intercept!
  • Interpret R^2!
  • Know about correlation: you'll have to choose which (of 5) statement does not have an error (remember that "blunder" question?)
  • Estimate correlation looking at a scatterplot (consider direction, then strength, to choose which correlation best matches the scatterplot given)
  • Write the equation of the LSRL given a data set (Stat, Calc, LinReg)
  • Write the equation of the LSRL given a computer output
  • Is a linear model appropriate? Check a scatterplot to see if it's roughly linear and has no outliers, check that a residual plot has no pattern, and that the variables are quantitative
  • Describe an association (shape, direction, strength, generally...)
  • Interpret residuals

And lastly...Remember, stamps are due this week (by Friday)!
  • Count up your stamps (double check!)
  • Staple them together/put them in an envelope/bag, and write the total on the front!
  • If the total on your paper does not match your actual total you'll get a 0! Double check!
  • Stamps must be turned in by Friday!
  • You're literally counting the number of blue ladybug stamps you have!
