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.

3.) START STUDYING FOR YOUR TEST WEDNESDAY! Here's an outline of what's on WEDNESDAY'S TEST:
  • Wednesday = Vocab Matching, Short Answer, and 5 AP MC
  • Thursday = AP MC and FR
  • I will be after school on Monday to study for the test if you'd like!
  • Here's the vocab list for Wednesday: 
    • Explanatory Variable
    • Response Variable
    • Outlier
    • Leverage
    • Influential Point
    • Residual (graphically, how it's calculated, what it measures)
    • Lurking Variable
    • Predicted Value (y-hat)
    • Slope
    • Y-Intercept
    • Coefficient of Determination (R^2)
    • Correlation
    • Least Squares Regression Line (LSRL)
    • Re-express data (coming Monday)
    • Scatterplot
    • Residual Plot
    • Overestimate
    • Underestimate
    • Extrapolation
    • Interpolation
    • Actual/Observed Value (y)
  • Short Answer Section
    •  You are given a graph with points labeled A-E and asked which point has the highest/lowest leverage, highest/lowest residual, highest/lowest x or y value, etc.
  • Multiple Choice Section
    • Interpret slope
    • Interpret y-intercept
    • Interpret R^2
    • Predict using a re-expressed model (covered in class Monday/Tuesday)
    • Determine how a point will influence r, slope, y-int (like Thursday's classwork)
