Wednesday HW (Updated C period Weds!)

Tonight/tomorrow please complete the following in your textbook--the problems listed below are the entire assignment and will be checked Friday, but we have not covered spread yet; therefore, I have listed what you can do now (and after tomorrow) below as well. 

  • Pages 91 - 100: 5, 7, 17, 27, 29, 37
  • **It is possible this assignment becomes your "weekend homework" depending how far we get in class tomorrow; if that is the case I will likely add some problems given that you should be starting these tonight.

What can we do tonight (Wednesday)?
5a, 7abc, 17a, 27abc, 29abc, 37abcef

  • 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 discuss spread in class on Thursday? (the rest...)
5b, 7d, 17b, 27de, 29d, 37de


  • 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 today we discussed "appropriate summary statistics," percentiles, and determining shape from a boxplot--you'll definitely need to get these notes from a classmate! Here's the plan for the rest of the week:
  • Thursday: discuss measures of spread
  • Friday: finish notes on measures of spread, learn how to read an ogive
  • Monday-Tuesday: Comparing Boxplots
  • Wednesday: Chapter 5 Vocab Quiz and Chapter 5 Math Quiz
  • Thurday: Start chapter 6!
