Monnnnndayyyyyyy

Tonight/tomorrow please complete influential points worksheet (with Age/Gessell Score context) provided in class (or below).
  • This homework will count double since it's our first one of the quarter!
  • An answer key will be posted on the blog tomorrow or Wednesday
  • Read the tips below for some writing help: 
    • Describing if a point is/is not influential: (questions 6, 8)
      • To determine if a point is influential we want to compare the values of r, slope, and y-intercept WITH that point in the data set, and without that point in the data set
      • We then want to compare these values to see how much they changed or if they stayed roughly the same
        • If a point changes slope, intercept, and/or correlation, it's influential!
        • A point may not influence all three, it may, for example, only influence the correlation, but not really change slope/yint! Look at the numbers!
      • Start by stating whether the point is influential or not!
        • "The point __ is/is not influential because...
      • Now comment on whether you're referring to adding or removing the point
        • ..when the point ____ is added/removed...
      • Finally, describe the effect on slope, intercept, and r (be specific--say increase/decrease, don't just say "changed."
        • the correlation ____ (increases/decreases/roughly stays the same), the slope _____ and the y-intercept ____. 

Want to get a head start on Wednesday's homework (in our textbook)? Here you go:
  • Wednesday HW:
    • Page 215: 11, 13, 14, 15, 
      • For #11 you must answer parts A-D for each of the 4 graphs (so you should have 16 answers for #11!)

Today's Class Recap:
  • Stamp = 5 MC (can earn up to 5 stamps)
  • Chapter 9 Notes (lots of vocab)
    • Making Predictions: Extrapolation vs. Interpolation (based on first 2 chapter 9 slides)
    • Leverage--what is it?
    • Defining outliers in a scatterplot based on leverage and residual
    • Understanding effect of adding/removing a point on correlation, slope, y-int

Unit Plan (your future...)
  • Monday (11/5): Chapter 9 Notes (Outliers, Leverage, and Influence)
  • Tuesday (11/6): No school (Encourage people to VOTE!)
  • Wednesday (11/7): Finish ch. 9 notes/practice with Influential Points
