Wed nes day HW!

Tonight, please complete the following in your textbook:

Page 215: 11, 13, 15
Tomorrow in class we'll do some classwork with chapter 9--we'll start with our stamp, then have some AP multiple choice and free-response!

On Friday we'll start class with our chapter 9 vocab quiz! Then we'll answer any lingering homework questions (from last night or tonight), talk a little more about lurking variables, and tie up any other loose ends/answer any other remaining questions. Then we'll cover chapter 10 on Friday/Monday before our unit 2 vocab test next Wednesday and our unit 2 multiple choice/free response test next Thursday!

Have a great Wednesday! See you tomorrow!

Here's your chapter 9 vocab list for Friday's quiz:

  • Residual (3 definitions: the vertical distance between a point and the line of best fit, actual - predicted (or y minus y-hat), and measures "how far off" a prediction is--error)
  • Interpolation
  • Extrapolation
  • Outlier
  • Influential Point
  • Leverage
  • Lurking Variable (a variable that creates an apparent association between two variables; this is the reason we cannot determine cause and effect in an observational study)
  • Slope
  • Y-Intercept
  • Coefficient of Determination (R^2)
  • Least Squares Regression Line (the line that minimizes the sum of squared residuals)
