Please take the time to read through this whole post....

1.) First, tonight's homework--please complete the "Chapter 6 Wrap Up" worksheet provided in class (or linked below). The answers are also provided below.

  • Chapter 6 Wrap Up HW (Click Me!)
  • Chapter 6 Wrap Up HW Answer Key:
    • a.) 0.704
    • b.) 0.0062
    • c.) 1.117 fluid ounces
    • d.) 1.104 fluid ounces
    • d.) Equation: 0.67 = (x - 1.05)/0.08, solve this equation for x
      • .0536 = x - 1.05
      • 1.1036 fl. oz. = x
    • e.) 0.108 fluid ounces (1.104 - .996)
2.) Your next assignment in "My AP Classroom" has been assigned!
  • I have assigned the second section of multiple choice AND 2 free response questions
  • These must be completed by 7:30 am Tuesday; however, it is in your best interest to complete the MC and FR progress checks before Thursday's test--these are a great way to get in some studying!
  • Link to log in is on the top right of the blog!

3.) 2 TESTS this week! 
  • Wednesday = Unit 1 Vocab Test = all matching and some short answer
  • Thursday = Unit 1 AP MC and AP FR test!

4.) What's on my vocab test Wednesday?
  • Here's your vocab list:
    • Quantitative Variable
    • Categorical Variable
    • Stemplot
    • Histogram
    • Boxplot
    • Ogive
    • Skewed Left/Right
    • Center
    • Spread
    • Mean
    • Median
    • IQR (what is it? how is it calculated?)
    • Standard Deviation
    • Range
    • Variance
    • Percentile
    • Q1/Q3
    • Outlier (know how to find outliers 2 ways--fences work for any distribution, 3 or more standard deviations away for the Normal model)
    • Shifting
    • Rescaling
    • Normal model (know its shape, know the 68/95/99.7 rule)
    • Z Score/Standardized Value (what does it measure? how is it calculated?)
    • Know what measures of center/spread are best/most appropriate based on the shape
    • Know all measures of center (mean, median, mode, midrange)
    • Know all measures of spread (range, IQR, standard deviation, variance)
    • Know which graphical displays are used for categorical data (bar graph, frequency table, pie chart)
    • Know which graphical displays are used for quantitative data (histogram, dotplot, stemplot, boxplot, ogive)
    • Be able to describe the shape of a given distribution completely (____ and ____)
    • Know how mean/median compare depending on the shape of a given distribution
5.) Be ready for more writing on Thursday's test! Some tips:
  • REWORD THE QUESTION
    • Always use context
  • Remember to describe or compare SOCS
  • Always directly answer the question--be clear
  • If you are asked to explain your reasoning, explain your reasoning!
  • Always answer specific to the given question/context--never answer in generalities
  • Here are some sample answers from our first unit test you can check out:
