Monday (10/16): Unit 1 Vocabulary Exam (30 minutes) followed by a little review--we'll take a look at some of the AP MC we didn't finish today; I'll also be after school until about 3:15 on Monday to review for our "math test" on Tuesday.
- See below for an outline of what's on our vocab test Monday
Tuesday *(10/17): Unit 1 Exam (AP free response and multiple choice).
- If you want to get a head start studying you should finish the multiple choice we did today in class! Be sure you know how to solve all of these--there are a couple MC on our test that look similar to those on today's classwork!
- We'll discuss a couple of them after our test on Monday...
Wednesday to Friday: Start Unit 2--Linear Regression
- Tuesday night's homework will be to review/study the "Linear Regression" stuff we covered in the summer, as this will not be re-taught in class (and we'll have a quiz on it next week!)
- If you missed the summer academy you will have to catch up on all of this!
- I will be after school on Wednesday to review the summer stuff regarding linear regression (which is also reviewing for the chapter 7 quiz we'll probably have on Friday 10/20)
Here's an outline of what you need to know/study for Monday's vocab test:
- Open Ended Questions (Short Answer)
- Know the preferred (or appropriate) measures of center and spread for a symmetric distribution
- Know the preferred (or appropriate) measures of center and spread for a skewed distribution
- Be able to list all measures of center (mean, median, midrange, mode)
- Be able to list all measures of spread (standard deviation, IQR, range, variance)
- Know which graphs are used for each type of data
- Categorical data: bar graph, pie chart, frequency table
- Quantitative data: histogram, boxplot, stemplot, dotplot, ogive
- Describe the shape of a histogram (in two ways...)
- Unimodal, bimodal, multimodal, uniform
- Skewed left, skewed right, roughly symmetric
- Know how skewness affects mean (and that it doesn't affect median as much)
- Know which values are sensitive to/resistant to extremes
- Know when the mean is less than the median, mean is greater than the median, or mean is roughly equal to the median (based on shape)
- Vocabulary List (Matching)
- Use your past vocab quizzes (chapter 2,4,5) to study
- There are four new words from chapter 6
- Shifting
- Rescaling
- Z-Score/Standardized score (how is it calculated? what does it measure?)
- Normal Model
- Here's the rest of the vocab:
- Quantitative Variable
- Categorical Variable
- Stemplot
- Dotplot
- Boxplot
- Histogram
- Ogive
- Center
- Spread
- Mean
- Median
- Range
- Standard Deviation
- Variance
- Interquartile Range (IQR--what is it? what does it measure?)
- Outlier (both in regard to fences and outliers based on the Normal model)
- Q1
- Q3
- Percentile
- Skewed left
- Skewed Right
