Thursday!

Thursday's HW:

1.) Page 123: 1, 3, 11, 9

  • It would be a great idea to read 103-104, "Standardizing With Z-Scores" to get a little ahead if you have the time!
2.) Consider each of the following for the table below (continued from class): Jot down some notes/a few bullets to earn credit for this!
  1. Who is the best student? WHY? Support your reasoning!
  2. If you could be given additional information/data to make this decision (who's the best student?), what types of information/data would you like to have?  




Today's Class Recap:
  • Warmup....
  • Back to chapter 6 notes:
  • Looked at two examples of shifting and rescaling problems with our first two chapter 6 slides (tonight's homework provides more practice with this)
  • Started to discuss the questions above (#2)--who's the best student?

Tomorrow it's on to more chapter 6 notes; we'll pick up with the conversation started in class and the ideas you consider tonight (for #2 above), then we'll start to get into z-scores (and hopefully the Normal model). See you there!

Weekend HW:

Page 123: 5, 7, 13, 17, 23
  • *For #'s 17 and 23 you must read pages 109-111 in your textbook to figure this out! Also use the image below.You got this! 
  • You can also try to look up some videos on "The Empirical Rule" using Khan Academy or the links to the right to help with this!
  • Read from "The 68-95-99.7 rule" (p. 109) and stop when you get to "Finding Normal Percentiles by hand" (p. 111)
