***If you were absent today please make up the test during study hall or lunch (Monday or Tuesday) or after school (Monday).***
On Monday we'll begin our new unit--we've been doing tons of work analyzing data--with our next unit, we'll start to explore where all that data comes from and how it should be gathered.
This weekend, please complete the chapter 11 reading questions provided in class. This will count as a quiz grade (and is collected Monday)--get a 100%!
Don't forget we'll really wrap up unit 2 on Tuesday with our matching vocab test.
Here are the questions for the weekend (in case you lost your paper):
Chapter 11 Reading Questions: These
will be collected and graded for completion on Monday.
1.
Statistically speaking, what does it mean for
something to be random?
2.
What are pseudorandom
numbers?
3.
On page 259 there is a sentence highlighted in
blue; this is an incredibly important idea—it describes the importance of randomness. Please copy this highlighted
sentence in the space below. (On a side note, the tidbit about shuffling below
is pretty interesting…check it out if you like!)
4.
Read the outline of a simulation, starting at
the bottom of page 259-261. Use this information (and the bolded words on page
260) to complete the table below:

Example (based on the
example on page 259):

Trial
|

5.
List/describe the 7 steps for creating a
simulation (outlined at the bottom of page 260). (We’ll be writing simulations
in this chapter so this is pretty important). Read the “step-by-step” example
on page 262 to see another example of these steps in action.
6.
Write the steps you will follow (on your
calculator to generate random integers (yellow box on page 263!). In other
words, what buttons do you press? When you choose randint( what do you have to type in?
On separate paper, please complete page 266: 1,3, and 4 (the
questions are written below, so you won’t need your book):
1.
Is a coin
flip random? Why or why not, in your opinion?
3.
Many states run lotteries, giving away millions
of dollars if you match a certain set of winning numbers. How are those numbers
determined? Do you think this method guarantees randomness? Why or why not?
4.
Many kinds of games people play rely on
randomness. What are (at least) 3 different ways commonly used to achieve
randomness?
In
other words, pretend you’re trying to choose who will drive to the movies
amongst 5 friends. What are at least 3 different ways you can randomly choose a
driver?

What do you want us to put in the blank space for number four AP Stats. Do u want us to make up our own example or copy the ones from the book
