Homework: Due Friday!

The following homework assignment will be checked in class on Friday! (it's a little longer than usual b/c I'm giving you two nights!)

Page 91-96: 5b, 13, 17b, 27, 29, 31a

I'm definitely checking! You can do much of this homework already, but some of the questions will relate to what we discuss tomorrow with "appropriate summary statistics."

Here's an outline of what's going on in class in case you were out today or will miss Thursday or Friday:

Wednesday: Today in class we had a stamp problem that challenged us to read boxplots for information; we then answered any homework questions and got back to our chapter 5 notes with a discussion of the measures of spread--range, IQR, and standard deviation. If you were out today you definitely want to be sure to grab someone's notes! You can also read about the measures of spread in chapter 5 of your textbook so that you don't fall behind!

Thursday (1/2 day): Tomorrow in class we will continue with chapter 5--we will finish our formal chapter 5 notes by finishing our "appropriate summary statistics" table, and then we will look at an example where we compare boxplots. This will also introduce us to the challenge of identifying the shape of a distribution from a boxplot.

Friday: On Friday we will start class with some AP multiple choice as a classwork grade (I think). We'll start class by looking at an Ogive (I think), and then we'll get into some groupwork.

That's the plan, but it's of course always subject to change! (Thursday is pretty set, we'll see about Friday).

If you were at the Big E (or are currently at it), HAVE A BLAST! Even if you weren't, I hope you had an awesome day! See you all tomorrow!
