Weekend HW + Stamps

Today's Class Recap:

Weekend HW: 

Problems found on pages 190 - 193:
  • 15 (is a linear model appropriate and interpret R^2)
  • 19 (write equation, predict, interpret slope, interpret intercept, use residual)
  • 35bcdefg (interpret R^2, find LSRL equation, is a linear model appropriate and create residual plot, interpret slope and y intercept, use residual)
  • Is a linear model appropriate? Writing help....
    • If a linear model IS appropriate, you must explain why referencing all 3 conditions....
      • "A linear model for is appropriate because the scatterplot is roughly linear, both ____ and ___ are quantiatitve variables, and the residual plot does not show a pattern."
        • Be sure to specify that the SCATTERPLOT is roughly linear and the RESIDUAL PLOT does not have a pattern--this is critical to your response. 
    • If a linear model IS NOT appropriate, then you only need to reference the condition that fails (or makes it not approrpiate):
      • "A linear model for ____(context)_____ is not appropriate because......."
        • Again, be sure to name the graph your referencing, either the scatterplot or the residual plot

STAMPS ARE DUE WEDNESDAY!

  • Gather all your stamps--you can leave them on the full paper, or rip off the little stamp, whatever is easier
    • You will get all of these back, so if you have notes on a paper with a stamp, don't worry, you'll get it back
  • Count all your stamps--double check!
    • I will choose 5 random names from each class and double check those students' stamps; if your total is incorrect, you will earn a score of 0
  • Fasten all your stamps--put them in a ziploc bag, put them in an envelope, staple them all together, or maybe glue/tape all the cut out stamps to one paper--whatever works best for you
  • Write your name and the total on the front of your stamps
  • Turn this in by Wednesday!
  • Stamps count as a classwork grade!
    • For each class I will find Q3 and use this to determine how many points the stamp grade is out of, so I can't tell you how many you need....
    • It doesn't really matter how many you need anyway, you just have to turn in all your stamps!


Quiz Tuesday!
  • On Monday we'll practice all this; Tuesday we'll start class with a (short) quiz, all writing--it's the same questions as the homework we had Wednesday (key below), so use this to study!
  • Quiz = Given a computer output....
    • Interpret slope
    • Interpret y intercept
    • Describe strength and direction based on r
    • Interpret R^2
  • You won't be given the data, you'll be given a computer output, so be sure you know how to read one of those and find each of the values above!
