Thursday = Study!

I will be in school tomorrow; however, as we will not learn anything new, YOUR TEST IS TOMORROW! 

Here is a breakdown of the topics on the test: The test has both open ended (free response) and multiple choice questions.
  • Create a histogram (using your graphing calculator, like last night's homework)
  • Create a boxplot by hand (given a table of summary statistics, like our summer academy notes or last night's homework)
  • Know how to find outliers given a data set (this is part of the boxplot process, but could also be it's own question--calculate the fences!)
  • Identify variables as categorical or quantitative (provide units for quantitative variables!)
  • Use your calculator to find the "1 Var Stats" (mean, standard deviation (Sx), median, min, max, Q1, Q3)
  • Calculate probabilities from a two-way table (like our Titanic homework)
  • Determine if two variables are related (or independent; remember, independent = not related; this was also on our Titanic hw)
  • Identify the explanatory variable (IV) and response variable (DV) given the context of a study
  • Determine if a study was a survey, experiment, or observational study
  • Reading histograms (like last night's "heights" problem)
    • Find sample size
    • Estimate the maximum possible range
    • Find the proportion (%) of data values above/below a given value
    • BONUS: estimate the median (what two values it falls between)
  • Reading boxplots
    • Identify the median, Q1, Q3, and outliers given a boxplot
    • Calculate the IQR (Q3 - Q1) given a boxplot
    • Calculate the range (Max - Min) given a boxplot
  • Find the overall mean given two samples (we took notes on this in day 3 of the summer academy)
  • Know which graphical displays are appropriate for categorical or quantitative data
Most of this test reviews the content from the summer assignment and what we've learned over the past week...
  • Look over your homework and the answer keys provided
  • Look over your class notes
  • Look over your summer assignment...
  • These questions from your summer assignment will be reflected on your test:
    • #6
    • #7
    • #13 to 17
    • #19 to 22
    • #23
    • #26, 27
Feel free to send me an email or Remind message with any questions! Be prepared to ace this test! Study!
