Perfect Day for a Take Home Test!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and is enjoying break! We'll be back at school before you know it.

I've definitely enjoyed my time off, but I'm also very much looking forward to seeing you all back at school. I'm ready for 8 days of probability, 2 Saturday Sessions (2 for me to attend, you only have 1), and then midterm exams! Woop woop!

Don't wait until the last day to do your take home test! I finished an extra detailed version of mine last night--I only have one set of papers to grade and I'm done with all my break homework. You should do the same to! Boo procrastinating!

Enjoy the snow. Be safe. Make a snowman or have a snowball fight!

See you soon!

Vacation!

We made it!

As you know, get an A on the take home test!

It's uploaded under our classroom resources if you need/prefer an electronic copy!

I look forward to seeing you all when you're back! For now, rest up, rejuvenate. and come back ready to learn. Enjoy your time with friends and family. Go outside and do something fun. Just take advantage of each moment you have.

As always, email with any questions. I'll post again later in the week with some stuff (including the homework for when we return if you want to get ahead).

It's good to be back...

Yay probability! Yay math problems! Yay less writing in Stats!

Tonight, please complete the probability problems we started in class. Remember, these will be graded as a classwork (that means it's worth way more than a usual homework!)

I've also uploaded the Take Home Exam. You can find it under our powerpoints and assignments. It's the first link under the "Assignments" tab, entitled "Collecting Data Take Home Exam (Holiday Break)." Enjoy!

Tomorrow we'll do some work with Venn Diagrams and then we'll enjoy our week off!

(Lot's of intense probability as soon as we're back...)

Happy Senior Trip!

I can't believe I'm out 2 days in a row...

I'll definitely be back tomorrow. Still feeling under the weather, but I'll be back for sure.

I'll have to watch the concert video; I'm really sorry I didn't make it, I just got sick for the first time at the wrong time.

I hope you all have a wonderful day today on the Senior trip! Looks like the weather is cooperating quite well! For the rest of you, enjoy your "personal day" off or your AP problems in class. Tomorrow, it's probability! Yay!

I miss you all!

Sorry I didn't make it in today--I'm not happy my perfect attendance goal has been ruined. I'm just feeling pretty under the weather.

I hope you all (well, those of you who are going) have a great time at the Senior trip tomorrow! I'm hoping to be back.

I'll see you soon! Make sure you work hard on those AP problems! I'll be grading them over vacation.

Monday HW

It's the home stretch...

Last homework assignment on experiments (I think)!

Tonight, please complete...

Page 314: 30, 31, 36, 41

Weekend!

One more week 'til break! We can do this!

A little more experiments next week, then some probability.

For homework this weekend please complete the 2 AP problems provided in class:
2002 # 2
1999 # 3

I encourage you to try these on your own and check your answers online to make sure you know what's up!

See you all Monday!

Thursday!

Tonight, please complete the chapter 13 "Quiz A" worksheet provided in class.

DON'T FORGET MY SATURDAY SESSION FORM: DUE TOMORROW!
Enjoy!

Wed nes day

Just a heads up, I've created 3 more pop quizzes like the one you took today. And you'll have all of them to start class before the senior trip....

Tonight, more experiments. Please complete the following in your textbooks:

page 314 17,25,29,35

Tuesday HW

Yay experiments!

I'm hoping we can finish up this chapter this week as it looks like we'll be having a take home test. That may be an unrealistic goal though.

Tonight, please complete page 313: 7,21,23,27 (for 7 there are lots questions to answer about this experiment...)

If you're feeling ambitions, tomorrow's homework will be page 314 17,25,29,35.

Enjoy!

Monday.;..

Not only Monday, but a rainy day. And a warm rainy day--what a waste of a comfortable temperature.

Anyway, enough negativity.

Tonight, please complete the following Free Response questions:

• 2010 #1 part A
• 2007 #2 parts a-c (Remember, blocking is the same idea as stratifying--so part c is asking how you will decide to group these dogs, by clinic or breed, and why)

Also, don't forget our Saturday Session permission slips are due Friday.

For those of you in need of stamps, here are 2 stamp problems--but they must be completed  for tomorrow (Tuesday, 12/11):

1. The average grade among 27 period E students is 79.59. The average for 19 period H students is 87.25, and the average for 22 period F students is 85.38. Find the average grade for all AP Stat students.


2. The grades for 20 period E students are shown below. Create a histogram of this data.
78, 96, 63, 87, 93, 66, 92, 92, 87, 83, 62, 91, 72, 85, 80, 79, 58, 87, 58, 65

Weekend Homework!

Study, study, study!

Vocab test is on Monday--20 words, none of which have two definitions... (40 points)

Then, we'll follow up with an AP Free Response as part of our test (15 points)

Hope you paid attention in class when we went over the 2011 problem! It wouldn't be a bad idea to look up the rubric online and use it to study. The free response in class has the following questions:

a. Describe a (cluster or stratified or systematic or simple random) sampling procedure.

b. Identify a variable you might stratify and WHY you chose this variable (explain how it relates to the response variable).

c. Explain the advantage of using a stratified sample over the method you described in a (so I guess part a isn't stratified...)

Thusday HW (but it feels like a Friday...)

Those poll results are ridiculous.

Tonight, please complete the chapter 13 reading questions provided in class. For those of you who were absent (or lost them), I've provided the questions below.

Tomorrow we'll start off class by grading one another's bias question, and then we'll start our notes on chapter 13! Yay!

Don't forget, vocab test is Monday! (And another test question--a free-response question like the one we went over in class, too!)

Chapter 13 Reading Questions:
1. There are two types of observational studies—retrospective and prospective studies.

• a. What is a retrospective observational study?
• b. What is a prospective observational study?

2. In an experiment where does the random assignment occur?

3. Describe/comment on each of the four principles of experimental design:

• a. Control:
• b. Randomize:
• c. Replicate:
• d. Block:

4.Explain the meaning of “statistically significant.”

5. What is a control treatment/control group?

6. What does it mean for two variables to be confounded?

7. In your own words summarize the procedure for the tomato/fertilizer experiment on page 298 -300.

Happy hump day!

Halfway through the week, and halfway to being halfway to our holiday break. Or something like that.

Another light night for homework....

Please complete the 2011 AP free-response problem regarding the sampling of apartments (parts a and b).

I expect to see well thought, thorough answers--in context, and in detail!

If you provide a one sentence, half-hearted response for these you will not receive homework. credit.

By the way, I recently joined One Direction...

Tuesday HW

Last bookwork assignment from chapter 12...

Tonight, please complete...
