Weekend HW

Please complete the following problems in your textbook (this will be checked Monday, for sure)

Page 541: 1, 3, 10, 13, 17, 19

Also, you will have approximately 7-8 minutes to complete your test on Monday. I'm sorry--I know it's not ideal to have a weekend in between, but that just gives you ample time to check your notes and get your grade up.

I will, however, grade the multiple choice this weekend; you can use your extra time for the free response.

After you've finished your test on Monday we'll get back to chapter 23--T tests and T intervals.

Thursday: STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!

Test tomorrow! First off, make sure you complete your 6 question take home MC test. This is 12 points toward your test grade!

And second, study! Work through the two resources (Chapter 21, 22) provided in class. Look through chapter 19-22 in your textbook. Read over your old quizzes/tests. Or do some practice problems in the unit review section--just study!

Good luck tomorrow! This is going to be your most influential grade before we wrap up the third quarter next week!

Tonight please complete the 14 MC questions (well, 12 MC and 2 open-ended) we started in class. This will be graded as an AP Problem grade.

Also, you have an AP problem tomorrow as you enter! Make sure you know:

a. How to interpret the p-value--make sure you know the definition of p-value (look at #13 on your multiple choice)

b. How to draw a conclusion using a p-value/alpha level

c. How to define Type I, Type II Errors

Mondayyyy! (HW)

Tonight, please complete page 507: 4,16,21.

Also, remember your take home quiz is due tomorrow.

We will have a test on inference for proportions (1 and 2 proportion intervals/tests) THIS FRIDAY.

We will have an after-school review (I'll be here until 4:00) on Wednesday for the exam.

Friday, March 23, 2012

Weekend HW

Please complete the 3 MC questions and the open ended questions (regarding graduation rates for low and normal birth weight babies) for Monday.

If you did not get this in class today (or yesterday) you can find the assignment with our classroom resources titled: Inference for 2 Proportions: Practice Quiz. It's the first link above the "Powerpoints" section.

We'll discuss some of these on Monday and some will be graded.

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Thursday HW

Please complete the following in your textbook:

P. 507

For those of you who will not be here on Friday this will be checked Monday.



WE WILL HAVE A TAKE-HOME QUIZ THIS WEEKEND. Those of you who are not here Friday will be expected to hand it in on Monday!

Wednesday HW

STUDY! Remember, you have your vocab test tomorrow! THIS WILL BE STRICTLY VOCAB MATCHING. You will be given a maximum of 20 minutes. I'd like to have time to do more with inference for two proportions, so there will be no AP problem tomorrow.

Tonight--please study and complete the 2003 AP free response problem.

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

Tuesday HW

Please complete the three problems on the powerpoint slides provided in class.

It looks like a lot of people forgot to grab this--so it's uploaded under our classroom resources entitled "3/20 homework."

In addition, study for tomorrow's AP problem! Make sure you can:
1. Interpret the confidence level
2. Test a hypothesis using a confidence interval
3. Calculate sample size.

Those of you who were absent today will need to come after school within 1 week to make up the AP problem (or you'll receive a 0!)

Monday, March 19, 2012

Monday HW

Tonight, please complete the following to be checked tomorrow:

Page 491: 3, 5, 17, 18, 27

After today's practice AP problems you will start class tomorrow or Wednesday with a graded AP problem. For the rest of the period we'll be investigating inference for two sample proportions. Yay!

Friday, March 16, 2012

Weekend HW

Please complete the assignment below this weekend:

p. 491: 9, 11, 13 AND the Chapter 20 "Reading" Quiz


To those of you who were absent--I've uploaded the chapter 20 reading quiz and our chapter 19/20 multiple choice (most of us did this on Wednesday in class) under our resources. If you do not take it upon yourself to get the reading quiz completed for Monday it will be due Tuesday with no exceptions.

Also to the absent students--today we discussed Type I and Type II errors. The three book problems above address these ideas. It is your responsibility to (try to) learn this content to keep pace with the class.

Enjoy your weekend!

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday HW

I'm so sorry I forgot to update the blog yesterday! You may hand in Wednesday's book problems tomorrow (Friday) if this prevented you from doing your homework.

Thursday: p. 469: 26,27,28,30

Friday: p. 491: 9, 11, 13 AND the Chapter 20 "Reading" Quiz


On Monday/Tuesday we'll wrap up with one proportion z tests and intervals. On Monday or Tuesday you'll work through some AP problems in groups. Then, by Thursday (at the latest) we'll move into chapter 22--inference for two sample proportions.

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

Tuesday HW

Tonight, please complete the following:

p. 469: 5, 6, 10, 17, 19

Robotics people: please complete the multiple choice on chapters 19/20 (the rest of us will do this in class tomorrow), as well as the following book problems:

Weekend HW

****I've uploaded the revised (includes corrections below) take home MC quiz as well as the chapter 20 powerpoint under our classroom resources.****

Please complete the multiple choice take home quiz provided in class (16 questions, 16 points). This will be collected and graded on Monday.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but here are the modifications I noted in class:

**Skip numbers 4 and 5

**For number 9, use a 95% confidence level (A poll is done to estimate the proportion of adult Americans who like their jobs...)

**For number 15 you will need to use the TInverval function (under STAT-->TESTS) to find this answer. You want to choose "Stats" (we don't have any data).

Wednesday and Thursday HW

Wednesday: Please complete p. 470: 11, 13 to be check in our next class.

Thursday: STUDY! Mini-test Friday! This will be incredibly similar to your take home, so use this as a resource to prepare. Also, make sure you know the meaning of 90% confidence (or 95, 99, etc.)

B Period: I apologize for being a jerk/rude at the beginning of class. I don't know why I was so cranky. You all have been working hard and improving--so I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that!

Take home quiz due tomorrow!

This CAPT schedule is really throwing off my blog-updating routine.

Your take home quiz (regarding the proportion of students who say they've cheated on tests at least once) is DUE TOMORROW!

On Thursday (in the CAPT seminar) we'll continue working through some Investigative Tasks and our mock multiple choice exam.

Also, I'll be after school Thursday to review confidence intervals for proportions--with a mini-test Friday!

Friday, March 2, 2012

It's Friday! And more Stats tomorrow!

I'm looking forward to our second of three Saturday review sessions tomorrow!

For homework this weekend please complete the following in your textbooks:

Page 447 : 20, 27, 28, 33, 34, 37

*If you attend the Saturday Session you do not have to do this homework--but if you do, it'll count as extra credit. (I have to actually see you on Saturday, not just your name on the sign in...)

*For those who do not attend this homework will be checked on Monday.

And don't forget...
CAPT week starts Monday. Remember we have AP Statistics review sessions on Tuesday and Thursday. Anyone who is not testing is expected to attend. You will spend half of each session working on a practice multiple choice exam (to count as a grade); for the other half we will introduce and discuss the "Investigative Task" portion of the AP Exam.
