Weekend HW = Take Home Quiz!!!!

This weekend, please complete the chapter 5 take home quiz! If you were out or you lost yours, you can find it uploaded under the "Classroom Powerpoints and Assignments" link on the right! (Choose the "Powerpoints and Assignments" link, then "Unit 1 Resources")

Be sure to have this on Monday! A zero would have a major negative impact on your grade!

Next week we'll continue to work with z-scores and the Normal model--lots of number and math and graphing calculator stuff! I love it!

It's looking like our plan for testing has changed.....here's what I'm thinking...

  • Thursday 10/6: Unit 1 Vocab Test (chapters 2 - 6)
  • Due Tuesday, 10/11: Unit 1 Take Home Exam (chapters 2-6)
  • Wednesday, 10/12: In-class exam: Unit 1!
  • This will give us three more test grades in the gradebook--which is important, because tests make up the largest proportion of our grade, so we want lots of opportunities to earn those points!
Have an awesome weekend! Come back ready to work hard through your four day week next week! See you Monday!

Oh, and if you're feeling like getting ahead, here's Monday night's homework (you can do some of it already, but not all of it...)...

Page 123-128: 5, 7, 9, 17, 23

  • Questions 5,7, and 9 are all based on using z-scores--so you can do these already! I'd recommend doing so if you have the time so you just have to worry about 17 and 23 on Monday night!
  • If you'd like to do it all, you have to apply the Empirical Rule or the 68/95/99.7 rule for 17 and 23!
    • Read about this rule on page 109, then look at the "working with the 68/95/99.7 rule" example on page 110!
    • OR, do some googling--look up some videos or practice about the Empirical or 68/95/99.7 rule!
    • OR, watch a video about this rule from the AP Stats Guy or from the videos aligned with our book!
  • How about this counts as some extra credit!
    • If you do 5, 7, and 9 for Monday I will give you an extra homework point! (each homework counts as 2 points, so an extra 1 point is like half a homework grade)
    • If you also look up how to do and try 17 and 23 I will give you another extra credit point!
      • So, if you do all of Monday's homework this weekend and show me on Monday you'll get an extra credit homework grade to make up a past zero or just further boost your homework average!
