No Homework! (Unless You Want Extra Credit...)

No formal homework tonight, but there is an extra credit opportunity below...

For those of you who were absent today, please remember your take home test on Wednesday (so you don't lose any points!)

Today in class we:

• Learned how to find binomial probabilities with a Normal model (as described for #12 in the post below)
• Brainstormed for our new unit: what are the four methods of data collection?

Be ready to work on Wednesday! We'll get right into our new unit, methods of data collection, and start designing some simulations! See you then!


Extra Credit Opportunity: Want/need some extra credit? This is due no later than Wednesday!

You can earn 6 points on a quiz grade if you do the following:

1. Listen to the "Stat Rap" under the "Statistics Music" link on the right.
2. Write down at least 12 statistics references you hear in the song. You must write the exact lyrics of the song. Number these references.
3. Then, below each reference, briefly explain what the reference means, statistically speaking. Do not simply define the terms, you must interpret the statistical meaning in the context of the song!
4. Your explanations must be correct! You will earn 1/2 point for each correct lyric and explanation; if you want to be sure you'll earn all 6 points, feel free to provide extra references!

**This only applies to the "Stat Rap," not the "Stat Rap Remix." (We'll save that one for later...)

Example(s):

1. "I state the null hypothesis there ain't no way you're stopping this."

• The null hypothesis is the first thing you state in a hypothesis test, and this is the first line of a song. 

2. "Crossin' all my T's like my name was Billy Gosset."

• William Gosset developed the t-distribution that is used in Statistics."
