Wednesday HW

I hate to say it, but I just realized that I don't have your problems at my home computer, so I don't have the chapter 4 problems due tomorrow. I hope you wrote them down in class. If someone sees this and could post a comment with the problems that'd be amazing. Maybe even a stamp for you tomorrow. Or, email me (fred.carofano@gmail.com) and I'll throw the problems up.

I know you have to do 4, 21, 22, and 35,

I'm really sorry guys. Check with a friend if you don't see a comment below.

Remember, your take home quiz is due on Monday. Tomorrow you're welcome to come work cooperatively after school and I can do some similar examples (but not the quiz questions) to help out. The more the merrier.

Hasta manana. Buenos tardes.

Monday Night HW

Here's Monday's homework...enjoy! (Def checking this one...)

Chapter 4 Exercises (page 64) 3, 9, 11, 19, 31

Friday!

Hope you're all ready to enjoy your weekend and get back to our first full week of school!

Hopefully you're feeling more clear after the day's discussion of independence. Remember, this will in fact be on your chapter 3 quiz Tuesday, so it might be a good idea to look at another example this weekend; that way, if you have questions, you can come after school Monday to have them clarified.

Your homework this weekend is to read chapter 4. Remember, you can take notes if you like, and if so, can use them on a potential reading quiz. It's our first chapter, so there's probably a good chance for one :).

Also, on Monday you will have a graphing calculator quiz--5/5 if you have one on your desk, 0/5 if you don't. No excuses. If you have an extenuating circumstance you should approach me before then in private (fred.carofano@gmail.com).

Enjoy the weekend! Watch some football. And keep an eye out for interesting stats we can use in class.

Here's an example for a nice answer when writing independence: Class and survival on the Titanic are not independent. Overall, approximately 32% of passengers on the Titanic survived. However, 62.46% of people in first class survived and 41.4% of second class passengers survived, showing both had a higher rate of survival. Both third class and crew had a much lower rate than the overall (the expected) rate of survival. According the data, the higher your class, the more likely you were to survive.

Thursday HW

Please complete:

Page 36 (Chapter 3): 19, 26, 33

**Period B** Notice I removed problem 39.

Wed. HW

Almost done with chapter 3....I cannot wait to start playing around with more numbers! We get a little taste tonight, with your Titanic homework. I've attached the activity under powerpoints and assignments if you lost yours.

Tonight please complete the Titanic/Independence activity. Make sure you do a thorough job. Think. Be creative. Use numbers, graphs, percents...tomorrow we'll base all of our discussion around these responses.

Tomorrow night we'll have some homework specifically about independence; this weekend I will most likely ask you to read chapter 4, and we'll have a quiz on chapter 3 next week (Mon or Tues).

Tuesday HW

Good work today! Well, B period at least. Other classes haven't happened yet.

Your homework tonight is page 39: 19, 23, 27, 37.

Tomorrow in class I'll check both this problem set as well as the weekend's (see below), and so you'll have a double homework grade (4 points rather than two)--so make sure it's done! We'll discuss any questions/comments/concerns and move onto Independence to wrap up chapter 3.

If you come across unfamiliar vocabulary in tonight's homework, I expect you to flip back through the chapter to find out what's being asked--I see this coming up with marginal and conditional distributions.

Enjoy!

Labor Day Weekend!

It was nice to get into some Stats today; I'm looking forward to playing with numbers and graphs and such quite a bit more as we move through next week.

Today we got into chapter 3 a little bit; if you'd like to review or get a little ahead, you can find the powerpoint under "Powerpoints and Assignments." On Tuesday we'll finish this up, and Wed we'll start working with independence.

Homework: problems 5,7,9,10,11,12 from chapter 3 on the handout provided in class.

Also, remember you have a QUIZ TUESDAY--probably only about 10 minutes, and similar to the discussion questions you did for homework. You will also be asked to identify quantitative or categorical variables. The answer key to your homework questions can be found in the same place as the chapter 3 powerpoint.

Other than that, enjoy your weekend! Once we come back it's the real grind...
