TAKE HOME TEST DUE TUESDAY!

This weekend you must complete the "Unit 1 Take Home Exam" provided in class! 

• Email me if you need an electronic version (carofano.fm@easthartford.org)
• This will have a major impact on your grade DO NOT get a 0! Put in max effort to get this done and earn yourself an A!
• If you get a 0 you will likely earn at best a D this quarter (b/c you have a 0 on a test!)
• Be sure to show work for any multiple choice question marked with ** (and for all open ended questions)! No work, no credit!
• **Question #8 is poorly worded; based on the wording of, "what % of snowfall is less than 3 standard deviations from the mean," this sounds like "within 3 standard deviations of the mean, which would be 99.7%--but that's not an option...
• So, for question #8, answer the following:
• "What percent of snowfall is more than 3 standard deviations below the mean?"
• Use your notes and other resources!
• Check out the AP Stat course in Khan Academy for some help (signup info below)
• Use the AP Stat Guy Videos
• Use chapters 2-6 in your textbook AND your notes!
• Google stuff! Watch youtube videos! Do whatever you need to do to ace this thing and to make sure you know how to do every problem assessed on this take home!
• The more work you put into this take home test the more prepared you will be for our unit test--planned for Tuesday, 10/17 (vocab) and Wednesday 10/18 (math)!
• **If you were out today you will have to get our notes from a classmate AND/OR teach yourself how to find normal percentiles using normalcdf( in the graphing calculator!
• This applies to questions 11, 17, and 23!
• Read page 111 ("Finding Normal Percentiles Using Technology") through the yellow box on pages 112-113
• There is also an explanation and "Step by Step" examples about how to use a z-table, or do this "by hand," which we will not cover in class
• We will focus on using normalcdf to find percentiles (get Friday's notes or Google it!)
• Maybe this will help!
• Click me for some normalcdf help!

On Monday in class we'll do some more work with normalcdf, and then we'll start to look at some different types of problems--"working backwards." Until then, enjoy your 4 day weekend and get an A on that take home!

Another homework for this week or next week....sometime soon....if you want to get it done early....

• 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!
