- First, do the problem! This is a great question to represent the level of difficulty and the type of comparisons we need to be able to do with boxplots! Put in your best effort!
- Spend 15-20 minutes completing this question--write the answer just as you would on the AP exam! Be specific, be detailed, and use context!
- Next, take a look at the AP Scoring rubric....
- 2017 AP Scoring Rubric (scroll down to #4, page 14)
- Before you score anything you should read the entire rubric--read the sample answers and all of the scoring info on pages 14-17
- THEN go back and start to focus on each part/section and begin to score yourself.
- This question is scored in 3 sections--section 1 is part a, section 2 is part bi, and section 3 is part bii.
- Look over the sample answers, but then focus more on the explanation of the scoring...
- Read the rubric for each section and give yourself a score of E, P, or I.
- You must write down some detailed notes about why you earned the score you did AND what you could have done to improve your answer (even if you got an E)
- If you do not do this (record your score with some notes about the score) you will earn a 0 on your homework
- Then, use your score for each section (E,P, or I) to give yourself an overall score of 1-4 based on the info on page 17!
Of course it's extremely important we put in max effort on these free response questions, and even more so, on their scoring! This is a key component to preparing ourselves to earn a "5" on the AP exam!
And if you're feeling ambitious this weekend, here's Monday's homework--you can't do it all yet, but you can do the shifting/rescaling questions...
Page 123-128: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11
- 1, 3, and 11 all deal with shifting and rescaling...
- 5, 7 and 9 are based on z-scores, which we'll discuss Monday--but if you want to get a head start here as well, read page 103 (z-scores), 106 (back to z-scores), the "Step by Step" example on page 107, and the "When is a Z-Score Big?" section on p. 107 to 109.
If you're ever looking for some extra practice, especially with the end of the unit approaching, try some of the examples in the "Review of Part 1" on pages 130-140--I'd just use odds to practice so you can check your answers in the back of the book!
Another homework for next week:
- Sign up for Khan Academy and add me as a coach!
- Class Code = 5HS925
- Khan has an AP Statistics course aligned with the AP exam--this is one of the best resources we have to use outside of class!
- It's great for extra support, practice, and review--and prep for the AP exam!
Have a great weekend! See you all Monday!
