HW = STUDY!

TEST ON EVERYTHING "ONE PROP Z INT" AND EVERYTHING "ONE PROP Z TEST" RELATED IS MONDAY! COME READY!

How can I study?
  1. Use your Barron's review guide (passed out today in class)!
    • CI = p. 289
    • Hyp. Tests = p. 333
    • First you can skim through the summary of each topic (starting on the page numbers above)
      • This book lumps all types of intervals/tests together, so remember that we are only focusing on one proportion z intervals and one proportion z tests for now
    • Then--practice problems!
      • After the summary "notes" you can find a bunch of practice MC and FR to do in the book, followed by the answers to each question WITH explanations of those answers!
    • This is an amazing/awesome resource--use it!
  2. Finish the 6 MC questions we started in class! Here's the key....
    1. E
    2. D
    3. E
    4. A
    5. A
    6. D
  3. Do the "AP Stat Test Review: Ch. 19, 20, 21" worksheet provided below, then check your answers (also below!)



Come ready! Monday's test WILL be a challenge--it'll (of course) include AP MC and some AP FR! 

If it helps, here's a list of what you need to know:

  • What should I know about Hypothesis Testing
    • What is the (4 step) process for any hypothesis test?
    • What is a null hypothesis? Alternative hypothesis?
    • What is the general logic of a hypothesis test--what are we trying to do?
      • How can I write a null and alternative hypothesis for a given context?
        • How do we check the conditions for a one proportion z test? 
          • Which condition differs for a one prop z test v. a one prop z interval?
          • Why do we check this condition differently for each process?
        • What math work do we need to show for a one proportion z test?
          • What are we trying to do mathematically?
          • How do we know if a result is statistically significant?
          • How can we calculate a p-value? 
          • Watch the AP Stat Guy Video about the logic of hypothesis testing!
        • What is a p-value? 
        • How can we calculate a p-value
        • How do we write conclusions for a hypothesis test based on a p-value and alpha level?
          • Linkage: connect pvalue to alpha (higher or lower) 
          • Decision: reject or fail to reject Ho
          • Context: there is or is not evidence of the Ha
        • What is a one tailed test? A two tailed test?
          • How do pvalues of one and two tailed tests relate? 
        • What is a Type I error? A Type II error?
          • How can we define a Type I or Type II error in context, AND identify a consequence of each type of error?
        • What are alpha and beta in relation to the types of error? 
        • How do alpha and beta relate? 
        • How can we decrease the probabilities of both types of error? 
        • What is power? How is power calculated?
        • How can we increase the power of a test?
      • 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!
        • Barron's book
        • Read above!
