BIG Quiz Tomorrow!

Tomorrow we will start class with a 25ish minute quiz on chapter 19--this quiz will be worth more points than any so far this quarter, so come ready!

  • Tonight, finish 2010 #4 AND score it as a way to review!
  • What should I use to study?
    • Pay a little extra attention to "interpreting confidence level," only because today was the first time we have practiced that--see the extra practice below
    • Today's classwork, completed and scored
    • Last night's homework (lots of math stuff)
    • Your take home quiz from our long weekend (passed back yesterday)
    • Your notes
    • AP Stat Guy videos
    • Want some more practice? Try any/some/all of these (and check in the back of the book)
      • Page 446-449: 3 (conditions), 13c, 21c, 23d (interpret C. level), , 25 (create and use interval), 29ab (create interval, know how changing n affects ME), 33 (find n), 
Anything confidence intervals is free game for tomorrow...just be ready for it all...


  • What do I need to know about confidence intervals?
    • When/why do we create a confidence interval?
    • What symbol is a sample proportion/%? A population proportion %? (statistic v. parameter)
    • How do we identify/calculate x, n, and p-hat for a given context? 
    • What wording in a question suggests I have to create a CI?
    • How do I find the critical value for a given C. Level using...
      • t-table 
      • invnorm(
    • What is the full CI process?
      • How do I check conditions for a one prop z interval?
      • How do I do the math with my calculator and show the supporting formula? 
      • How do we interpret the meaning of a confidence interval?
    • How can we use our confidence intervals to assess some claim? (like 13d from the weekend hw)
    • What is ME? 
    • How can we calculate margin of error given a sample size, C. Level, and p-hat? 
    • How can we calculate sample size for a given ME?
    • How does changing n affect the ME? the width of an interval?
    • How does changing C. Level (and as a result, z*) affect the ME? the width of an interval?
    • How can we find the value of p-hat (a point estimate) only given an interval? 
    • How can we find the ME only given an interval? 
    • What does it mean to say "__% confident?"--how can we interpret the meaning of a confidence level? 
  • If you have any questions, things you're confused about, or just want a deeper understanding, take the time this weekend to use your resources!
    • Watch AP Stat Guy videos 6-9 in Unit 5 for some help!
    • Use Khan Academy--this is aligned with AP Stat!
      • Linked on the right WITH a course code
    • Google stuff--anything about one proportion z intervals!

Today's Class Recap:
  • Today was all practice!
  • Stamp = Classwork Grade (3 MC) 
  • Completed 2010 AP FR #3 in groups (14 min)
    • Interpret C. Level, use an interval to test a claim, find sample size
  • Scored a classmate's FR using the rubric, discussed
  • Completed 2010 AP FR #4
    • Create and interpret interval (don't forget conditions)!, know why we check 10% condition...

Tomorrow (after our quiz) we'll start talking about hypothesis testing--see you there!
