Two's Day HW!

Tonight's homework is different for period A vs. periods E/F--see below. All answers are also posted below so you can check!

It is very important that you do tonight's homework because this is our only practice with invnorm before our unit 1 test on Thursday!

If you were out today we learned how to use "invnorm" in our calculator--you should do your best to teach yourself this from chapter 6 in our book, OR watch this video! to learn about invnorm--we have a test Thursday so you have to know this stuff!

Here's the homework:

Period A: 
  1. Please complete questions f, g, h, and i on the "Calculating Z Scores and Percentiles" worksheet that we started in class on Thursday.
  2. Then, please complete questions a,b,c,d on the "classifying storms" worksheet! This problem is specifically modeled after one of our test questions!
    • I'd recommend starting with question b, then do c, then a. Finally, after you answer a,b, and c, try d!
    • For question A, you have to interpret the meaning of this question in terms of pH--if a storm cannot be classified, what does that mean about its pH?
    • Question D does not require the use of normalcdf or anything...don't overthink it!
Periods E,F:
  1. Please complete the entire "Calculating ZScores and Percentiles" worksheet provided in class!
And here are the answers to the homework problems along with the questions
