- Test includes 20 to 25 matching vocab (match each term to its definition)
- There are also some short answer questions...things like....
- List measures of center/spread
- Name the appropriate measures of center/spread for a symmetric or skewed distribution
- Determine if a given graphical display is used for categorical or quantitative data
- Describe the shape of a given distribution
- Know how the mean and median relate based on the shape of a distribution
- 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
Want to start studying for Thursday's test.....?
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!
