Thursday HW!

Thursday HW:

  • Please complete QUESTION 1 ONLY of the AP Classroom Free Response provided in class (or linked below).
    • AP Classroom FR (Collecting Data)
    • Question A is asking you to describe what population, or what "larger group" we can generalize to for each method
      • For example, in question 1 we based on study on volunteers who were willing to participate in an exercise program--so what larger group of people can we generalize our results to?
        • Can we generalize to every person in the US? (No....)
    • Question B might be easier than A for some of us
      • Don't get too caught up in/distracted by the "statistically significant" idea. 
      • This question is asking what we can conclude in method 1 that we can't conclude if we use method 2....
      • AP Exam Strategy/Tip: you can answer question B without answering A!
