Tuesday HW = AP FR!

Tonight please COMPLETE AND SCORE the 2016 free response question (on the back of today's classwork).
  1. First, do the question! Don't look at the answer! Try to time yourself--do your best to complete this in at most 15 minutes.
  2. Score your response! Look at the AP rubric (provided in class, or linked below) and read through the sample response and scoring criteria
    • USE A DIFFERENT COLOR TO SCORE YOUR RESPONSE
    • Read through the scoring guidelines to give yourself a score of "E, P, or I" for each section
      • Record some notes/comments about how you could have earned an "E" if you scored P or I--what was missing?
      • Even if you scored "E," jot down some notes/comments--what could you have added to enhance your response?
    • Score each section, then use the rubric to give yourself a score of 0-4 for the question
Tomorrow when I check homework you MUST have a complete, detailed response AND score your response (in a different color) with some notes on your scoring to receive full credit.

Tomorrow in class we'll get back to some notes and start chapter 5, where we'll look more deeply into the summary statistics we've been calculating, what they are/mean, and how they can best be used.

We will start class on Thursday with (2) chapter 4 quizzes:
  • 10 minutes = chapter 4 vocab quiz
  • 13 minutes = chapter 4 "math" quiz--create a histogram (with calculator), describe the distribution, and then "read a histogram" 
I didn't have time to finalize the quiz today, so the final draft of the vocab list will be up tomorrow--but for now, here's at least some of the vocab list:

  • Histogram
  • Boxplot
  • Dotplot
  • Stemplot
  • Describe a distribution (what do we describe?)
  • Skewed Left
  • Skewed Right
  • Know how to describe the shape of a distribution given a graph (unimodal, bimodal, uniform, symmetric, skewed left/right)
  • Measures of center
  • Measures of spread
  • All chapter 2 vocab words are fair game: definitely review...
    • summary statistics for categorical data
    • graphical displays for categorical data
    • summary statistics for quantitative data
    • graphical displays for quantitative data
    • Response Variable
If you were out (or lost your stuff), here's what you need for tonight's homework:

  • First, complete the 2016 Free Response question (be thorough/detailed, and use context--pretend you're taking the AP exam!)



  • Next, score your response using the rubric linked below--see the top of this post for more detailed instructions!


Enjoy your Tuesday! See you for more Stats tomorrow!
