Weekend = Study!

This (3 day) weekend take lots of time to have fun, hang out with friends and/or family, maybe take some "alone time" to relax, and enjoy Homecoming if you're going!

Somewhere within all of that, sprinkle in a little studying--let's start the second quarter strong! See the bottom of this post for a little extra-credit homework (which is a way to study), due Tuesday!

If you were out today use the answers below to grade your homework--these types of questions will be on BOTH tests (Weds and Thurs):

1.) B     2.) D     3.) E     4.) A     5.) B     
6.) slope and y int stay roughly the same, correlation decreases (weaker positive correlation)
7.) slope and y int stay roughly the same, correlation decreases (stronger negative correlation)
8.) Most Lev = C, Least Lev = B, Largest Resid = A, Smallest Resid = C

Here's a breakdown of our upcoming tests:

Wednesday (11/14) = Matching Vocab and AP MC Test!
  • Vocab List:
    • Explanatory Variable
    • Response Variable
    • Scatterplot
    • Correlation
    • Positive Association
    • Negative Association
    • Lurking Variable
    • Actual Value (y)
    • Predicted Value (y-hat)
    • Least Squares Regression Line (LSRL)
    • Slope 
    • Y Intercept
    • Coefficient of Determination (R^2)
    • Residual Plot (what is it? what is it used for?)
    • Residual (formula)
    • Residual (what is it?)
    • Residual (what does it look like on a graph?)
    • Overestimate
    • Underestimate
    • Outlier
    • Leverage
    • Influential Point
    • Extrapolatino
    • Interpolation
    • Re-express data
  • Multiple Choice Concepts (these overlap with Thursday's test)
    • Interpret slope
    • Interpret y-intercept
    • Interpret R^2
    • Know how a point influences correlation, slope, y-int (like Thursday's HW)
    • Use a re-expressed model to predict (like Monday's example/packet)
    • Identify points with largest/smallest residual, most/least leverage, highest/lowest x or y-value
Thursday's Test (11/15) = AP MC and AP FR!

  • Concepts to know:
    • How to read a computer output (write LSRL)
      • Find correlation given a computer output
    • How to find the LSRL, r, and R^2 with your graphing calculator
    • View a scatterplot and a residual plot on your graphing calculator
    • Describe an association
    • Determine if a linear model is appropriate
    • Interpret slope
    • Interpret y-intercept
    • Interpret R^2
    • Use an equation to make predictions
    • Calculate the residual for a prediction
    • Use residuals and the equation to find an actual value
    • Interpret the meaning of a residual
    • Describe how a point may influence slope, intercept, and/or correlation and explain why
    • Use a re-expressed model to make predictions
    • Determine if a prediction would be too large, too small, or accurate given a residual plot
Extra Credit HW: This will ONLY be accepted Tuesday!
  • Extra Credit HW = Studying for your tests
    • Page 245: 1, 11abcd, 17, 27
    • Check your answers in the back of the book! (under Part II Review)

Have an awesome weekend! See you all on Tuesday!
