HW Due Weds (scroll down) AND Monday's Notes

If you were absent today you must make up the test before the end of the day Friday (I will not be after school Friday):

• You can do this during any free period or lunch
• Or I will be after school Wednesday or Thursday until 3:00 (come right at 2:10)
• I would not suggest making up the test during our class period--then you'll miss the stuff we learn in class!

Here is a recap of Monday's notes/example: Comparing Boxplots-- Use this to help with the HW due tomorrow!

• Period E: you must finish these notes (copy this example in blue) on your own since we didn't get far enough in class!
• I tried to write these bullets so that you can use the same structure for your homework--but for your homework you'll need to change everything that's underlined to the context about graduation rates and to the correct comparative language!
• First bullet = shape, outliers
• Next bullet = comparing center, interpreting what this means in context
• Third bullet = comparing spread, interpreting what this means in context
• Last bullet = comparing overall context with a % statement
• Our stamp problem on Wednesday will focus on this type of "% statement," and we'll come up with some options for this example for that warmup
• The distribution of puzzle completion times (time it took to complete a series of brain teasers) is skewed right with one outlier for females and roughly symmetric with no outliers for males.
• The females had a lower median puzzle completion time than the males -- this suggests that females generally completed the puzzles faster than the males.
• Males had a wider/larger IQR than the females -- this suggests that puzzle completion times varied more in the middle 50% for males.
• Overall, females completed the puzzles faster. Roughly _____% of females completed the puzzles faster than (at least ___% of males)

HW Due Tomorrow:

1. Answer the question! Compare the distributions! Give a real, thoughtful effort--write your answer as you would/should on the AP exam! Use the example above and your notes from Monday!
• You should be able to compare shapes, center, and spread, with context
• Don't forget, after you compare centers/spread add a "-- this suggests..." statement.
• Do your best for the "% statement"-- we will discuss this in more depth tomorrow to start class
2. Check out the rubric/grading breakdown on the back to score yourself!
3. Save this! We will definitely have a question like this on our end-of-unit test in a couple weeks!
