Tuesday = Study + Stamps!

You have two responsibilities tonight:

1.) Chapter 8 Vocab Quiz tomorrow!
2.) STAMPS are due tomorrow! Don't get a 0!


Here's the list for our chapter 8 vocab quiz:

  • Explanatory Variable
  • Response Variable
  • Lurking Variable
  • Correlation
  • Residual
    • Graphically
    • How its calculated
    • What it measures
  • Underestimate (what is it? what type of residual represents an underestimate?)
  • Overestimate (what is it? what type of residual represents an overestimate?)
  • Slope (how is it interpreted?)
  • Y-Intercept (how is it interpreted?)
  • Coefficient of Determination (know this is R^2, know how to interpret this value)
  • Predicted Value (y-hat, or what do we use to find a predicted value?)
  • Linear Model
    • "An equation of a line in the form y-hat = a + bx that is used to make predictions of the response variable for given values of the explanatory variable."
  • Least Squares Regression Line (what does best fit mean?)
  • Is a linear model appropriate? (what 3 things do we check)


And here's the process for turning in your stamps:
  • You can turn them in as early as Monday--if we have stamps Monday/Tuesday I'll just add them to your total
  • Count up your stamps!
    • You are literally counting stamps--so if there's no stamp on a paper it doesn't count! If there are two, that's 2 stamps!
  • Get all your stamps together--put them in a ziploc bag, a folder, staple them together--whatever works
  • Write your name and the total on the front! 
    • Double check your counting...
    • I will randomly select 5 students in each class to check totals...
      • If your total is incorrect you will be given a 0--so pay attention to detail and double check when you count!
  • You will get all of these papers back so don't worry if there are notes on them!

Finally, here's tomorrow night's homework for those of you who are feeling ambitious tonight--this will be the first homework grade of the second quarter!
