Weekend HW and Quiz Monday!

This weekend, please complete the take home quiz: Boxplots and Summary Statistics provided in class (or below)! 

If you don't have this on Monday you will have a 0 on a quiz so be sure to get it in! Use your notes, your textbook, and the links on the right as a resource if you need helping finding the 1 Var Stats or creating a boxplot! (You can also use your summer packet for the steps to find the 1 Var Stats on your calculator)!

Also, we will start class on Monday with our chapter 2 vocab quiz! Make some flash cards and study! (If you make the flash cards now you'll have them to use to study for our unit test at the start of October!)

Here is the chapter 2 vocab list:

  • All definitions are provided in parentheses!
  • Quantitative Variable (a variable that uses numbers to act as a measure of some sort, with units)
  • Categorical Variable (a variable that names categories or groups)
  • Data (systematically recorded information, in words or numbers, with context)
  • statistic (a number that summarizes a sample or a set of data)
  • Relative (use % in the display)
  • Response variable (what we are measuring or recording in any study)
  • Know which statistics we can use to summarize quantitative data (mean, median, mode, range, IQR, standard deviation, min, Q1, median, Q3, max)
  • Know which graphical displays we use with quantitative data (boxplot, histogram, timeplot, ogive, stemplot, dotplot)
  • Know which statistic we use with categorical data (proportion aka %)
  • Know which graphical displays we use with categorical data (pie chart, bar graph, relative bar graph, frequency table, relative frequency table)

And here is the take home quiz in case you lost yours or you were out:
