STUDY. Do it.

Tomorrow we have our unit test on methods of data collection! Study, study, study!

Here's a breakdown of tomorrow's test:

• 9 multiple choice questions (each @ 3 points, no partial credit--so read carefully!)
• 3 Free Response:
• Determine which of two blocking schemes is a better choice and explain why it is the better choice
• Diagram/design a detailed, randomized, blocked experiment
• Identify the variable of interest, parameter of interest, sampling method, and then determine which method of calculating a mean is better (review)

And here are 2 practice questions you can use to study for the test tomorrow! (Thanks to the awesome students--Liz, Camila, and Allysa--who came to do some studying today!) 

Then, tomorrow night's homework will be to study for our matching vocab test on Wednesday! The vocab test consists of 35 words from the list below.

And after that....math returns! Can't wait! Until then, study, and get A's on these tests!
