3 Day Weekend = Take Home Quiz!

This weekend, be sure to complete your take home quiz (due Tuesday)! If you lost yours (or want an electronic copy), you can find it under our "Classroom Resources" link entitled, "Labor Day Take Home Quiz."

Period D: STAR Tuesday in the Career Center! (take home quiz is still due!)

A few thoughts on your quiz...

  • The first part deals with chapter 3, which we did not cover in class: use your book as a resource and "figure it out" if you have questions!
    • Bar Charts: page 23
    • Practice probability questions (the "just checking" questions): page 28, answers on p. 44
    • Frequency tables: p. 21-22
    • Pie charts: p. 23-24
  • The next part covers histograms, just as we have in class:
    • Use your calculator to create the histogram! (yellow box on p. 54; ignore the last paragraph)
      • Remember to set the window (instead of using ZoomStat!)
      • Explore the "Using Your Graphing Calculator" link on the right! (or Google how to make histograms on a TI83/84!)
    • Be sure your sentences to describe the distribution are in context!
      • Again, I'm looking for two general statements about what you see in the data--don't worry about language like "skewed, symmetric, etc." yet.
    • Use your stamp problem (from yesterday) to help with the #3 on the back!
Good luck! Have an awesome 3 day weekend! Do your quiz outside, it's going to be beautiful out there!

See you all Tuesday for some STATS, STATS, STATS, STATS!
