Happy Thanksgiving!

First and foremost, have an AMAZING Thanksgiving break! Enjoy it! It doesn't matter what you're doing--maybe you're going to a cousin's/aunt's/grandparents house, maybe to a friends house, maybe you're just staying home with your immediate family, or maybe you're doing nothing at all--no matter what you're doing take some time to reflect and think about the good that you can be Thankful for. We all always have something good, something positive we can appreciate.

I am thankful for all of you. I'm thankful that I get to come to school each day and have an absolute blast hanging out and doing a bunch of math problems with you all. I appreciate that literally every single AP Stat student this year is generally engaged, focused, and attentive inside the classroom. 
(Many of us need to improve our work ethic outside the classroom; the 100% you all give for 46 minutes each day is awesome, but it's the effort outside the classroom that separates great students from average/good students. If you're not happy with your grade/performance in AP Stat thus far, it's not your work inside the classroom you need to improve, it's your commitment outside and the work you put in to develop your understanding that has to get better.) Anyway, we'll save that rant for another day. For real though, I truly am lucky to be able to work with this group of students. I've had to deal with some personal stress this year, and it's always nice to be able to come to school and take a mental break and have a great time with you peeps. So thank you.

Now, onto that assignment I'm making you do over break..... :)

Homework = be sure to complete your TAKE HOME QUIZ DUE MONDAY (12/2)!
  • No excuses.
  • USE YOUR NOTES AND OTHER RESOURCES!
    • Don't just try these "from memory" and hope it's right--use your notes to make sure you earn the best score you possibly can!
    • This is our biggest quiz grade thus far, so be sure to put in max effort and earn your best quiz grade yet!
  • If you need a copy, here you go:

What about that book work we didn't discuss?
  • Here are the solutions to ALL of the bookwork problems that were assigned Monday night.
  • Definitely take a look, see where you were on the right track/got off track, and use these to help strengthen your understanding!
  • We will have a quiz based on tree diagrams/conditional the week we come back, so the more effort you put into strengthening your understanding now, the better off you'll be!



Lastly, want to get a head start and do some of Monday's HW? Here you go!

  • Monday Homework: p. 363-366: 12, 24, 29, 33, 45
    • 12 and 24 are similar to 11, 21, 23a shown above!
    • You can also do 45!
    • On Monday we will talk/learn about independence, which is what questions 29, 33 deal with, so you might hold off on those....
      • Read:
        • Bottom of p. 350 (Independence) 
        • More on p. 352  and then p. 353-354
