TEST TOMORROW!

Below is an outline of tomorrow's test. At the very bottom of this post you can find the answers to both the multiple choice (from Tues) and open-ended classwork (from Weds) I gave you to practice.

Test Outline: Open Ended and 7 MC:

  • Use the Normal model to find percents above/below/between (AP Question)
    • Shaded model, z score, normalcdf(lower, upper)
    • Use your "storms" problem to study--the questions are less direct, and make you think a little bit more, like (a) on the storms question
  • Finding new summary statistics after shifting/rescaling...
    • Just like our homework--the SAT/ACT problem or #1 on the open ended practice from today!
    • Know which measures (spread or position) are affected by shifting/rescaling
  • Use the Normal model to find "cutoff" values given a %
    • Shaded Normal model, invnorm(% left, mean, Sx)
    • Like 2fghi on the open ended from class today!
  • Compare boxplots--draw conclusions, in context, based on comparison (not just comparing SOCS) (AP question)
  • Determine if a distribution might be "approximately Normal" based on some summary values...(AP question)
  • Create a boxplot, given data
    • Remember: labels, title, and fence work!
  • Calculate and interpret z-scores (in a sentence)
    • MC "The caffeine content..."
  • Use z-scores to compare values 
    • MC #3
  • Reading Ogives
    • Find 5 number summary, IQR
  • Categorical vs. Quantitative variables (which is which?)
  • Know how mean/median relate for different shapes of distributions
  • "Appropriate summary statistics"
Answers to Classwork (use these to study)!

5. Some descriptive statistics....B
3. Lauren is enrolled....C
