HW Due Monday:

The homework problems (in the textbook) listed below will be checked on Monday! 

YOU WILL ALSO HAVE SOMETHING ADDED TO THIS HOMEWORK TOMORROW (because we've had quite a few days to work on these) We have not fully covered spread yet; therefore, I have listed what you can do now (and after we finish spread tomorrow) below.

  • HW Due Monday:
    • Pages 91 - 100: 5, 7, 17, 27, 29, 37
    • More to be added tomorrow...not sure what yet, so check back tomorrow

What can we do already?
5a, 7abc, 17, 27abc, 29, 37
  • We previously completed 29ab, so you really are focusing on 29cd; however, take a look back at a,b and see if your thoughts have changed now that you know a little more about graphical displays and describing distributions!

What can we do after we finish our notes on spread in class tomorrow (Friday)? (the rest...)
5b, 7d, 27de

  • Many of these questions deal with the "appropriate summary statistics" to describe spread based on the shape of a distribution; if you don't want to wait until tomorrow to do these, check out the 3 bullets below "Shape,Center,Spread" on page 84.
  • You can also read about center and spread on pages 82-84.
If you were absent this week on Wednesday we discussed "appropriate summary statistics," percentiles, and determining shape from a boxplot; on Thursday we started to discuss measures of spread and completed our "appropriate summary statistics" table in our notes; tomorrow (Friday) we will finish our notes on spread and learn how to read an ogive. (Read chapter 5 to catch yourself up!)

And finally, here's my tentative plan for the rest of chapter 5:
  • Thursday: discuss measures of spread
  • Friday: finish notes on measures of spread (standard deviation), learn how to read an ogive
  • Monday-Tuesday: Comparing Boxplots
  • Wednesday: Chapter 5 Vocab Quiz and Chapter 5 Math Quiz
  • Thursday: Start chapter 6!
