Wednesday HW, Quiz Friday, Khan....

You have a few things to prepare for/get done....

1.) Homework tonight: Please complete the "Chapter 14: Probability MC!" provided in class (or below).
  • This provides us with some more practice with probability and with some more "AP-like" contexts before our quiz Friday!
  • #5 is a repeat from our take home quiz....
    • I did this on purpose! This is a particularly "AP like" question!
    • The answer is E! But the focus here is not on the final answer, it's how to get it....
      • Think about this: if the mixture tests positive, that means the mixture "did not test negative..."
      • Therefore, finding the P(test positive) is the same as finding P(does not test negative)
        • Now, think about this--how can we find the probability the whole mixture tests negative?
        • What's the only way the entire mixture tests negative? 



2.) Please add me as a coach on Khan Academy if you have not done so yet. 
  • Log into your Khan Academy account (or create an account if you do not have one)
  • Go to the "Coaches" tab
  • Enter our class code:
    • AP Stat Class Code = 5HS925

3.) Chapter 14 Quiz Friday!

  • Math Section: 8 problems that are very similar to those on your take home quiz! Use that to study!
  • Vocab Section: here's the vocab list for Friday's quiz...
    • Probability
    • Independent (Events)
    • Disjoint/Mutually Exclusive (Events)
    • Law of Large Numbers
    • Law of Averages
    • Equally Likely
    • Union 
    • Intersection 
    • Sample Space
    • Complement
    • Sum of probabilities of all possible outcomes = 1

And finally, don't forget to support the yearbook and buy some new EHHS gear! You have until 12/1!

Tuesday HW = Bookwork + KHAN

Tonight (Tuesday) HW = more probability practice!

Page 339-342: 7, 9, 25, 27, 33

In addition, you must also add me as a coach in Khan Academy! (HW Grade):
  • Log into your Khan Academy account (or create an account if you do not have one)
  • Go to the "Coaches" tab
  • Enter our class code:
    • AP Stat Class Code = 5HS925
  • You do not have to complete the assignments listed--I was just playing around/exploring the resources
  • There are two useful courses for us...
    • AP Stat
      • This course ONLY has videos, it does not have practice
    • Statistics and Probability
      • This course, although not directly aligned with AP, DOES offer practice problems beyond the videos
      • This course does cover much of the content we address in class, so this is a great resource!
    • You can also use Khan for SAT prep! Or anything else!

In case you're curious, here's the plan for the rest of the week and the rest of the unit:
  • Wednesday = finish probability (ch 14) notes
  • Thursday = chapter 14 classwork, finish chapter 14 notes/start chapter 15
  • Friday = Chapter 14 Math and Vocab Quiz (20 min), then work on chapter 15
  • Week of 12/4 to 12/8 = Chapter 15
  • Week of 12/11 to 12/15 = Chapter 16
  • Week of 12/18 to 12/21 = Chapter 17
  • Friday, 12/22 = Probability Exam
  • Winter Break = "Teaching Yourself Experimental Design (ch. 13)" assignment

Oh, and help to support the yearbook with the fundraiser below--I've been told these are uniform-acceptable! I know I plan to buy myself a fleece to wear!

Monday HW/STAR Tomorrow!

Tomorrow we have STAR testing in the Dell Lab (library)--head straight there!

  • Come ready to give your best effort!
  • If you improve your STAR score (from fall to now) you will earn a 100% on a quiz!
  • Remember, your teachers are evaluated on this stuff....so do your best work!
    • Sure, there aren't any Stats questions so this is kind of silly for us to do in our class....but we still have to respect the statistical process--we're providing data for our school to evaluate its progress in math, so let's given an honest effort!
You may be given a (short) assignment after the STAR test tomorrow for homework. I haven't decided yet, so it would probably be in your best interest to get tonight's homework done tonight, but it will not be checked until Wednesday. 

Tonight (Monday) HW (checked Wednesday in class) = more probability practice!

Page 339-342: 7, 9, 25, 27, 33


As mentioned above, tomorrow in class we'll have the STAR test: here's the plan for the rest of the week:
  • Tuesday = STAR Testing in Dell Lab (library)
  • Wednesday = finish probability (ch 14) notes
  • Thursday = chapter 14 classwork, finish chapter 14/start chapter 15
  • Friday = Chapter 14 Math and Vocab Quiz, then work on chapter 15

Oh, and help to support the yearbook with the fundraiser below--I've been told these are uniform-acceptable!

Happy Thanksgiving!

First and foremost, ENJOY YOUR BREAK! You have all worked very hard thus far in AP Statistics--take some time to rest up, relax, and enjoy your family/friends. Recharge those batteries and come back ready to put in 4 weeks of hard work on probability!

Over break please complete your chapter 14 take home quiz (provided in class, or below)!

  • There is a typo on the bonus question--it should say "exactly TWO of the donors have type O blood..."
    • Check out page 391 for help in finding the number of ways to arrange two type O's among ten donors...
  • Use your notes, our homework/key, and your textbook examples (chapter 14) for help!
  • Remember, if you get stuck, write out "the lines and words"
  • Feel free to send me any questions via Remind (or email)!

Monday Night HW (after break)--feel free to get a head start if you have time.

Page 339-342: 7, 9, 25, 27, 33

Here's the tentative plan for when we return from break--we've learned all of the math for chapter 14, now we need to take a step back and examine some of the formal notation, definitions, and formulas.

Monday: Chapter 14 notes: vocab and formulas
Tuesday: STAR (booooooo....just show up and do your best)
Wednesday: Chapter 14 notes
Thursday: Finish chapter 14/start chapter 15
Friday: Chapter 14 Vocab Quiz and Math Quiz (20 min), then chapter 15 notes


Here's the take home quiz in case you lost yours: The question with the error/typo is in red (and written correctly): 



Have an awesome break! See you Monday!

Monday, November 20, 2017

Monday HW!

Here's our last bit of "math practice" with probability before our Thanksgiving take home quiz:

Page 340-342: 11, 13, 17, 23, 29

Tomorrow in class we'll keep working with probability and work on any types of "math problems" we're struggling with and answer any homework questions we have so we can ace our take home quiz! 

See you there--one more day of hard work!

And remember there are some more examples you can look at in Friday's blog post (below) if you get stuck! Good luck!

The Wknd HW!

I-can-do-Statistics-in-AP....pro-ba-bility.....pro-ba-bility....

That might be a dad joke. Probably no one gets it. Sing it though.....

This weekend please complete the "Probability: The Basics" worksheet provided in class! (Monday's homework is also at the bottom of this post)
  • Use the examples (in the images below) as well as today's notes to help with this!
  • Questions 1-4 all deal with one spin, so that's all simple math...no multiplying or anything; 1-4 are like the stamp you did with the spinner after your test
    • Question 12a and 13i, ii are also more like this intro stamp...
    • Don't overthink these!
  • Questoin 5-10, 12bc, and 13b are all based on today's notes or the examples below
  • Questions 11 and 12d are not things we've covered, these challenge you to think a little more and figure some stuff out....
  • You can also look at the examples in chapter 14 of your textbook for help!
  • Here are some examples you can use to also help (especially if you were absent):

And here's the homework in case you lost yours or were out:


Finally, if you want some more probability practice and you're feeling ambitious, here's Monday night's probability homework--you will have a take home quiz based on all of this type of math over Thanksgiving break:

Page 340-342: 11, 13, 17, 23, 29

Probability Starts Tonight--Start Strong!

I hope you're all feeling confident about today's tests! These will take me a bit longer to grade; I hope to get these back you by Tuesday.

If you were absent yesterday or today you must make up your test(s) before Thanksgiving. Read below!

  • It is in your best interest to make up the test during any study hall/lunch or after school (today or Friday, I can't stay Monday) so you don't miss any "new stuff" in class
  • If you cannot make up the test during any free time/after school you will have to make up your test during class on Monday/Tuesday, and then you will have to catch up on any content you missed.
Thursday Homework:
  • Please complete the 2004 Free Response (normal model review) provided in class (or below)!
    • We have to remember all that normalcdf and invnorm stuff--we were calculating probabilities, so that's coming back this unit!
    • The answers are provided--so check! Your job is to show the correct work and refresh your memories on this!
    • Look back at your chapter 6 notes!



Tomorrow (Friday) in class we'll start working with lots of probability (chapter 14)--I'm excited! See you there!

Wednesday, November 15, 2017

Study (again)!

Tomorrow we have round 2 of our linear regression exam! Be sure to prepare yourself to earn an A! 

Here are some suggestions of ways to study for tomorrow's test:
  • Look over the chapter 8 "quiz" homework we had a couple weekends ago (which also had an answer key provided); this covered many of the topics on our test, including interpreting slope/intercept/R^2, describing an association, making predictions, and calculating residuals
    • The bonus on tomorrow's test is based on the same topic as "Part II" from this chapter 8 quiz homework we had
  • Look over your notes--re-read them, maybe even create an outline to get an overview of the "big ideas" from this unit
  • Practice, practice, practice problems!
    • Look over any assignments that were graded/returned--work on any problems you answered incorrectly and figure them out!
    • Try practice problems in the "Review of Part II" on page 245
      • Focus on odd numbered problems so you can check your answers in the back of the book
      • Use the topics list below to help decide which problems to try
    • Try the problems on the back of the multiple choice we looked at yesterday (first MC was the cricket chirps/temp question)
    • Use a Barron's book (or other AP Study Guide)--these have plenty of practice free response/multiple choice questions with solutions--focus on any questions about linear regression
      • If you do not have a Barron's review book and would like one just stop by and ask before/after class! I don't have enough for everyone, but I have some...
    • Look back at/retry question 7 and 15 on page 215 (or any other hw problems)
  • Watch AP Stat Guy Videos!
Our test tomorrow will have AP MC and AP Free Response; you will not have to create a scatterplot or find the LSRL equation with your graphing calculator (tomorrow).

After our test I will be passing out a little Normal model review homework to get us ready for some probability (on Friday)!

Here's an outline of the topics assessed on tomorrow's test:

  • Describe an association shown in a scatterplot
    • Look over your chapter 7 quiz!
  • Determine if a linear model is appropriate (chapter 8 quiz)
  • Interpret slope (chapter 8 quiz)
  • Interpret y-intercept (and decide if a y-intercept interpretation in realistic) (chapter 8 quiz)
  • Interpret R^2 (chapter 8 quiz)
  • Find correlation (r)--like yesterday's stamp/MC
  • Predict using a re-expressed model (like yesterday's stamp)
  • Determine how a point (if added/removed) will affect slope, y-int, r (will they increase, decrease or stay the same) (look over your chapter 9 classwork from Thursday, returned yesterday)
  • Use a linear model to make predictions (chapter 8 quiz)
  • Calculate residuals (chapter 8 quiz)
  • Predict using a re-expressed model (like yesterday's stamp MC or Monday's MC homework)
  • Find an actual value given the LSRL equation and a residual (like the "backpack/books" MC stamp we had)
  • Identify a point with the largest/smallest residuals or most/least leverage
  • Read a computer output to write the LSRL equation and find R^2, r
  • Determine if a prediction is expected to be too low, too high, or accurate based on a residual plot (like the strength of weed killer/predicted % killed open ended classwork we had)
  • Interpret the meaning of a residual in a sentence
    • Know what a + or - residual means
  • Bonus: write the equation of the LSRL algebraically (you will be given formulas for slope, y-int)

Weekend HW!

1.) This weekend please complete AND SCORE the 2012 AP Free Response Question provided in class (the rubric was also provided).

  • Please write all of your responses on separate paper.
  • Complete the problem; time yourself--15 minutes.
  • Then, use a different color ink to score your response--the rubric is attached...
    • Score yourself E,P, or I for each part
    • Then, write a couple notes about why you earned the score you did or what you would need to do to earn an "E"
  • If you lost your papers the question is below and you can click here for the 2012 scoring guidelines/rubric (page 2-4)

2.) The "Outliers and Influential Points!" worksheet in the middle of the packet is not homework that will be checked on Monday, but it is an extra credit opportunity; read below and look the assignment over...
  • This assignment challenges you to determine if a point is, in fact, influential...
  • The only way to determine if a point influences slope, intercept, and/or correlation is to calculate these values WITH the point, and then WITHOUT the point--then compare the values
  • This assignment walks you through this process-this hasn't been on the AP exam, so it's not a major concern for us--but look through the assignment to get an idea of how this is done.
  • For the back you have to write a response determining if the point is/is not influential--try this structure...
    • The point ____ is/is not influential because
    • When the point is added/removed (it is essential that we comment on what we're doing, adding or removing the point)
    • Describe the effects on correlation, slope, y-intercept (this is your support; always reference these values as support)
  • You may complete the "Outliers and Influential Points!" worksheet for homework extra credit; this will only be accepted on Monday, and a key will be provided on Monday.

Weekend (and Monday) HW!

This weekend please complete the "Chapter 8 Quiz: The LSRL" worksheet provided in class or below (it's not really quiz though)

This is our first homework of the second quarter, so I'm going to count it double! 

  • This homework assignment is a great review of many of the concepts we've learned thus far--this is a great way to self-assess and see where you stand in this unit! Use your notes, the AP Stat Guy, and Khan Academy to figure out anything you don't know!
  • The more effort you put into this homework the better prepared you'll be for our unit test coming up!
  • Extra Credit:
    • If you teach yourself how to complete the bonus question you will receive homework extra credit!
    • There will also be a bonus question on our unit test based on these ideas!
    • Check out this AP Stat Guy video to teach yourself how to do the bonus!





The chapter 9 textbook problems below (I referenced two of these Thursday in period A) will be our homework on Monday night (due Wednesday, no school Tuesday):

Page 213-215: 1, 7, 9
  • This homework assignment is more review of what we've learned--remember, we'll be having a unit test next week!


If you're feeling realllly crazy, here's Wednesday night's homework; we'll learn about these ideas on Monday/Wednesday in class, so you might have to do some independent research/learning if you want to try these this weekend:

Page 215-2: 11, 13, 15


And finally, here is an answer key to Thursday night's homework, determining if a linear model is appropriate:


I hope you all had a blast today at the pep rally and throughout Spirit Week! Enjoy your weekend and GO HORNETS!

Wednesday, November 1, 2017

Wednesday HW!

Here's tonight's homework--some practice determining if a linear model is appropriate!
  1. Please complete the worksheet provided in class (or below).
  2. On the back of your worksheet please also complete the following in your textbook:
    • Page 190: 15a, 41f
      • 41f asks if "this plot shows evidence of the violation of any assumptions behind the regression"--this is just a confusing way to ask if we pass all 3 of the conditions we need to check...
      • In other words, "Is a linear model appropriate?" (check all 3 conditions)





Today in class we started with our chapter 8 vocab quiz; then we explored residual plots a little more deeply to try to enhance/deepen our understanding of what a residual plot is actually showing us!

Tomorrow in class it's on to chapter 9--outliers, leverage, and influence! See you there!
