Wednesday HW!

I hope everyone had an awesome first day!

Tonight's HW:
  1. Please complete the "Summer Academy Debrief" worksheet provided in class (or linked below.).
  2. Please grade your homework! What's the point of practicing if I don't check my work? Here's a link to the answer key...

Tomorrow in class we'll get back to our chapter 4 notes about quantitative displays, specifically focusing on dotplots and stemplots. Then we'll start to look at how we describe these distributions (if time permits)....See you there!

Remember, we will have a quiz based (primarily) on what we learned in our summer classes on Friday!
  • EVERYONE is taking this. 
  • If you weren't here for our summer classes it is entirely your responsibility to learn what you missed! Be responsible and take initiative!
    • Check the blog post below for some suggested resources

What's on the quiz/what should I know after the Summer Academy?
  • Statistics Vocab:
    • Data
    • Quantitative Variable
      • know which graphs are used for quantitative data
      • know what statistics we use to summarize quantitative data
        • more so, know what measures of spread, center, and position can be used
    • Categorical Variable
      • know which graphs are used for categorical data
      • know what statistics we use to summarize categorical data
  • Find the "overall mean" given two different samples and their averages
  • Create a histogram given a data set (using graphing calculator)
  • Read histograms: find sample size, median, estimate range, find proportions given a histogram (without data)
  • Create a boxplot given a data set (using graphing calculator)
  • Create a boxplot given only summary data (know how to make a boxplot by hand)
    • Calculate fences to determine if there are outliers in a data set
  • Know how to read a histogram if the bins are centered v. if the bins are between two values
