Thursday HW

Tonight you must answer each of the questions within the slides for chapter 24. Use your resources to help you and this will be much less time consuming! This will be graded as 10 points--done, 10, not done, 0. See you manana!

Wednesday Homework!

Complete the following for tomorrow. This will be counted as a homework, but in addition, if you neatly show all of your work for each problem you can earn 3 points extra credit on tomorrow's quiz.

The quiz will be a combination of "Quiz A/B"--a T test, a T interval, and a question asking you to find sample size.

(it’s a long one.)

Tuesday HW

Complete the Chapter 23 Quiz A/B worksheet IN IT'S ENTIRITY for tomorrow. Also, your 5 MC questions are due tomorrow--TEST GRADE!

Monday HW

Tonight you should complete the following problems in your textbook: Page 541: 1,3 (use your textbook to figure these out!), 5, 9, 11 Your MC TEST IS DUE WEDNESDAY! AND DON'T FORGET: SSS SHEETS ARE DUE TOMORROW!

Take Home MC Questions Due Tomorrow!

Hopefully you thought the test today went well...don't forget to get your take home MC questions completed as well, due tomorrow. Period B--since you have the assembly during our class period, please make sure you drop these off at some point.

See you all manana!

STUDY!

Here are some questions I selected to review for tomorrow's test:

Tuesday HW

Tonight you need to identify 10 mistakes TOTAL--use the key I gave you in class to identify 10 things from both the last homework question and the question we did in class.

BE DETAILED! THE MORE YOU WRITE, THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO GET AN A!

Weekend Homework: Complete these problems--if you like, bring them to the Saturday and work on them in lunch or something!

Tonight you must do the following:

On the untitled worksheet please thoroughly complete question 13 (Conditions, Math, Conclusion).

Also, complete number 2 on both sides of Quiz A/B Chapter 22. For these two questions you may skip the conditions--but be sure to include both the mathematics and conclusion.

Enjoy!

TAKE HOME PORTION OF TEST DUE TOMORROW!

YOU WILL BE GIVEN 12 ADDITIONAL MINUTES TOMORROW TO START CLASS TO FINISH THE TEST. STUDY. FOCUS.

Tonight's homework is of the utmost importance! This is a huge test--so MAKE SURE YOU DO WELL TONIGHT! Work hard; use your notes, your textbook, and your peers.

Tomorrow we'll get right back into the swing of things and take some notes on chapter 22. We'll breeze through that this week, and then have another test (MC in class and FR take home on ch. 22) next week.

Thursday Homework O__o

What's poppin' future statisticians? Tonights homework is that Quiz B Chapter 21 worksheet. Also keep in mind it doesn't hurt to start studying for your test on MONDAY. Tomorrow we will go over some review and have a panel discussion. Also tomorrow is our AP Stats seminar, it will be held in the west lecture hall, so go straight there when you arrive at school. There will be other testing going on in my room in the morning so don't go there. Other than that, get a well rested night and prepare yourselves for a funtastic day tomorrow. WHOOOOOOO!!!

WED HW/TEST MOVED TO MON

Alright, alright, I'll cave--test is moved to Monday. I was thinking about a possible two day test since we have a lot to cover, but I'm still thinking about that. We'll use the first hour of our session to review, and I'm hoping for a little panel discussion about stats, the AP exam, and college life for the rest.

HW tonight is...

See you manana!

MONDAY HW!

A lil' Type I and Type II Error practice....we'll get into a few additional ideas on Wednesday (and maybe spill over into Thursday). Remember, on Friday morning we'll have a test to begin our session! Part FR, part MC. Tomorrow in class we'll grade our vocab tests.

There will be a test review after school Thursday.

Monday HW (checked Wed):
Page 492: 11a-d, 12a-d, 13, 19a-d

In regard to your "testing for disease" homework question, here are the answers:
Type I: the patient is actually ok, but our test suggests they have cancer (false positive)
Type II: the patient does in fact have cancer, but our medical tests suggest they're ok (False negative)
Which is worse? In my opinion, a Type II Error is clearly worse, as this individual will now have a potentially fatal disease going untreated. With a Type I Error, although this person may be emotionally stressed/devastated, his/her physical health will not be threatened.

STUDY FOR THE VOCAB TEST MONDAY!

For homework you need to study the vocab list below for Monday's test. It will be 20 words (matching), and there will be 3-5 additional questions. One of these will likely be to create a table showing the correct population parameter/sample statistic symbols for categorical and quantitative data. There will also be an additional questions chosen from the following: the definition and interpretation of a p-value, the steps for a hypothesis test, the differences between hypothesis tests/confidence intervals, and the goals of hypothesis tests/confidence intervals. The vocab list is below.

Sampling Distribution
Central Limit Theorem
Standard Error
Conditions/Assumptions:
10% Condition-->independence
Randomization-->generalization
Success Failure-->large enough sample (for Normal Model)
Confidence Interval
Margin of Error
Critical Value
Null Hypothesis--what we assume to be true
Alternative Hypothesis
One vs. Two Tailed Test
PValue
One Proportion ZTest
One Proportion ZInterval
Proportion (used for categorical data)
Mean (used for quantitative data)
p vs. p hat
xbar vs. mu
Diminishing Returns
Alpha Level
Statistical Inference
Interpret CI vs. meaning of _% confidence
Sampling Variability
Population Parameter
Sample Statistic
Sample Size

In addition, you have one homework question:
If you are going to the doctor to be tested for cancer, write your null and alternative hypotheses. Then, define a Type I and Type II Error. Finally, explain which type of error is worse and why.

Thursday HW:

Reading Quiz (all 8 questions)

AP REGISTRATION PAPERWORK

Tuesday HW--YOU CAN GIVE ME THE READING QUIZ THURSDAY!

We're cruuuuiiiisin through this stuff. You guys seem to be doing quite well; keep it up, I'm incredibly happy with the way you've been working.

For homework tonight, please complete the CI/HT regarding bullying.

Also, don't forget: I need your SSS permission slips as well as the AP registration paperwork!

Chapter 21 Reading Quiz (Complete 5) DUE THURSDAY:
1. What is the power of a test?
2. What is the alpha level in terms of Type I and Type II error?
3. What is Type 1 Error?
4. What is type 2 error?
5. What is effect size?
6. How can we decrease the probability of a Type II error, and thus increase power?
7. Sketch a Normal curve. Shade in the region representing a 95% confidence interval, as well as the appropriate alpha level for a one-sided test.
8. What is the significance level? Explain what it is, do not simply provide a synonym.
