Happy Holidays!

Have an amazing break! I won't see you all until January 7th, so it'll be a while, and I definitely will be excited to see you all when I'm back!

Over break, there is no formal assignment--but start studying for your midterms!

• There is an outline of the midterm exam topics (all of the stuff on the test) under our classroom resources link. It's right at the top, entitled, "2016 Midterm Exam Topics."
• There is also a link for some different ways to study for the midterm and/or AP exam (I gave you this in class)
• The date of our AP Exam is incorrect on the paper I gave you today--our AP exam is Thursday, May 12th, 2016.
• We will have two midterm review assignments (with a sub) when we come back from break, so if you do some studying over break it will make those assignments a little easier!

Here is the plan for when you have the sub on Monday/Tuesday after break:

• Monday: The sub should give you a packet of questions; on the front is a 2009 Free Response question (with a boxplot); then, there is a question regarding linear regression (mass v. rate) and a paper where you have to create some histograms boxplots.
• You should do your best to finish this in class (you should be able to finish most of it); whatever you do not finish should be completed for homework. 
• Tuesday: The sub should give you a multiple choice packet that says, "AP Statistics Take Home Exam: Happy Thanksgiving!" at the top. These are practice multiple choice questions for the midterm. Do as much as you can in class, and then complete the rest for Thursday. 
• Ultimately, both assignments need to be fully completed for Thursday. Bring both with you to class on Thursday and we'll use them as a starting point for some questions/review.

Other than that, enjoy your break! Rest up, relax, spend some time with friends and family, and recharge your batteries! We have a midterm exam soon after we're back, and then it's the final push toward our AP exam!

See you all in a couple weeks!

Oh, and here's the stamp problem in case you didn't get to it on Thursday (you can get 3 stamps!)

Stamp: Answer each question below thoughtfully:

1.) If you could give one gift to any person in the world, who would you give it to and what would you give?

2.) If you could receive any gift (that costs less than $1,000), what would it be?

3.) Suppose I hand you one gift, a wrapped box. Would you rather take a gift, or give a gift? Why?

Stamps will be due on exam day (or earlier). We will not have any more stamps for this quarter, so feel free to get those counted up and put together over break! (You can give yourself the 3 stamps for this if you did it).
