Tonight, please complete the following in your textbook:

Page 383: 23, 27ab, 31bc, 33de, 37
  • For 23 look at your notes about shifting and rescaling (for parts a,b)
    • For parts c-d, consider the Pythagorean Theorem of Statistics--remember, VARIANCES ALWAYS ADD! 
    • You can also look at your "dog and cat" examples from Friday in class
  • For 27ab and 31bc, more practice like the "dog and cat" examples and more Pythagorean Theorem of Stat! (did I mention that VARIANCES ALWAYS ADD?!)
  • For 33de...
    • First (part d) find the new mean and standard deviation of the total amount of cereal (like part a of today's bike example)
    • Then, (part e), use the Normal model with this new mean and standard deviation! (like part b of today's bike example)
  • For 37...
    • First find the mean and standard deviation of the team's total time! (like part a of our bike example)
    • Then, use the Normal model for part b!


We also have our chapter 16 vocab quiz to start class tomorrow--be sure to study! This all came up in class! The list is below:
  • Probability Model/Probability Distribution
  • Expected Value
  • Variance (standard deviation, squared)
  • Standard Deviation (informs us about how the outcomes of a prob. model fluctuate or vary)
  • Random Variable
  • Discrete Random Variable
  • Continuous Random Variable
  • Shifting
  • Rescaling
  • Pythagorean Theorem of Statistics (variances always add!)
  • Disjoint/Mutually Exclusive
  • Independent
  • Probability

After our vocab quiz we'll do some classwork--some AP multiple choice and free response! Then, on Wednesday, it's on to chapter 17! See you there!
