Thursday HW!

To all Juniors:
  • Tomorrow we will work (in groups) in class to develop the formula for a one-proportion z interval. Please stop by to grab this assignment/investigation if you have not done so.
    • You should complete this assignment over your long weekend
    • Watch videos about the formula for a one proportion z interval if you need some more help/explanation!
    • You will be responsible for knowing/understanding this stuff--the more effort you put into the classwork you missed, the better prepared you will be!
    • Please get a copy of the notes from a classmate as well!
  • Over the long weekend we have an assignment that I may collect and grade as a take home quiz. Please stop by tomorrow morning for a copy if you do not have one already.
  • Another option: Juniors, if you would like, please feel free to attend period H (AP Stat) tomorrow. You are scheduled to have lunch at 11:35 to 2:10, which is H period. Of course if you're hungry and tired after a long day then EAT! Don't feel obligated, but this is an option for you. 

Thursday HW: 
  • Pages 446-448: 5, 9, 21ab, 23bc
    • For 5 your job is to determine which of the interpretations is correct, if any, and provide a bullet explaining why (like today's slide)
    • For #9 interpret the given confidence interval!
    • For 21a use your calculator to find the interval and copy your calculator screen as your math work, then interpret your interval for part b
      • Please also write down the values of x, n, and p-hat
    • For 23bc, same--part b = math = calculator screen, c = interpret
      • Please also write down the values of x, n, and p-hat
    • *Remember to always round n to the nearest whole number or you'll get an error on your calculator!
Today's Class Recap:
  • Stamp = x, n, and p-hat
  • Ch. 19 Notes
    • What is the process for any confidence interval question?
      • Conditions: what are they?
        • Discussed a "tweak" for the success/failure condition
      • Math: what do we show? 
        • Also added notes on n, x, and p-hat
      • Interpret 
        • How do we interpret a confidence interval? 
        • Provided a template for interpreting intervals in our notes
    • Interpreted an interval and identified x, n, p-hat in our notes for a given context (3 slides given yesterday)
    • Then, discussed which interpretation (also in those 3 slides) a-e was correct and what issues there were with the incorrect interpretations
    • Learned how to create a one proportion z interval using our graphing calculator (tomorrow we'll investigate this formula)
