Thursday

Hopefully you're feeling good about today's test!

Here's tonight's homework--go outside! Enjoy your afternoon! Relax/decompress after a tough test.

These tests do take kind-of a long time to grade; I hope to get them back to you on Monday, but you'll definitely have them by Wednesday at the latest.

Come back tomorrow ready for some new stuff! Want to get a head start or just curious? Take a look at chapter 6 in your textbook (read stuff) or google some of the topics below! Or watch an AP Stat Guy video!

Chapter 6 Topics:

  • Shifting/Rescaling Data
  • Z-Scores (Standardized Scores)--how do we calculate them and what do they tell us?
  • The Normal distribution and the Empirical Rule (aka the 68/95/99.7 rule)
  • How can we calculate percentiles using the Normal model? (and normalcdf on our calculator)?
  • How can we find a "cutoff value" for a given percentile in a Normal distribution? (using invnorm on our calculator)
After chapter 6 we'll have finished the first full unit! We will have TWO more tests after we finish chapter 6--another "math test" with AP FR and AP MC questions, and a unit 1 vocab test. This will probably happen sometime the week of 10//7, and will definitely not happen any later than 10/10 and 10/11 (before Columbus/Indigenous People's day weekend)
