Wednesday HW = More Comparing Boxplots

Tonight please complete the "AP Statistics: Comparing Boxplots" worksheet provided in class (or below).

  • First, create the boxplots! You can't use your L1 and Stat Plots here because we don't have the full data set, so you'll have to create these by hand--you have notes about this from day two of our summer academy!
    • Be as precise as possible when drawing your boxplots!
  • After you create your boxplots, compare! Use the example from Monday/today's class/notes as a guide; you can also use last night's homework as a guide. I would score this comparison using the same rubric as last night's homework!
  • The correct boxplots are shown below --check these! Be sure you have the correct boxplots before you start to compare!
Correct Boxplots for HW:




Today's Class Recap:
  • Finished our "comparing boxplots" example with the puzzle completion times by adding some examples of comparative "% statements" (see the blog post from Monday and/or Tuesday for the full written comparison)
  • Started chapter 6 = new stuff!
    • Discussed shifting and rescaling...
      • Definitions of each
      • How does shifting affect measures of position (including center) and spread?
      • How does rescaling affect measures of position (including center) and spread?
Tomorrow it's on to more chapter 6 notes; we'll look at some shifting/rescaling problems/examples in our chapter 6 slides, then we'll start to get into z-scores (and hopefully the Normal model). See you there!
Thursday's (tentative) HW (if you're curious and want to try some tonight):
