Study! This is our first official test grade in AP Stat (until next week); start off on the right foot and study this vocab!
Make sure you can also sketch shapes of distributions and name types of graphs for categorical/quantitative data.
I've uploaded your SAT lab under our Assignments link; remember, this (including the type 2) is due Tuesday.
Also for Tuesday, complete the worksheet (3,4,14,15) we looked at in class.
Good luck!

Monday HW
Back to business, though for you it's a short 4-day week (and we have next Monday off!)
Tonight, please complete Page 125: 25, 27, 31, 41,44
Tomorrow we'll start with our SAT investigation, so if you have not done so yet, please find the average SAT scores for 3 schools. You will need this as the basis of your work; I've not yet decided on a due date for this project (this will be your largest AP Problem/Project grade thus far), but I'm thinking Monday so that people can come to our review after school Thursday with questions. We'll worry about that in a couple days.
For now, please complete the assignment above as we push toward the close of chapter 6--and you know what that means! Test!

Weekend HW
I'm soooooooo pumped about chapter 6!
Here's the weekend homework: first off, please complete the worksheet provided in class (all of it). This means the rest of number 2, and don't forget to go back to #1. For 2, letter i, you need to think--draw a picture to help yourself out! If you need more, check out your textbook.
Second, please find the average SAT score for 3 colleges you're interested in applying to. If you're younger and haven't considered this yet, start now. If you don't plan to go to college you still need to find average scores for 3 schools.
We'll use this as the basis as some of our work next week, so it's important! This research will count as a homework assignment!
Extra Credit:
Today we looked at the populations of the U.S. and China, and then found the number of geniuses in each country. Here's a challenge: find the IQ score that would cut off a percentage of the Chinese population greater than the entire U.S. pop.
Let me try to clarify: today we anticipated that China had about 5 milllion geniuses, based on the .38% of people above an IQ of 40. Of course if we want this number (5 million to increase), we need the percentage to increase--so find me the IQ score that cuts off a high enough percent of the Chinese population that it's greater than the entire U.S. pop.
(Sorry, that's really hard to try to write up).

HW Tonight/Sub Tomorrow
Back to the grind...
Tonight, please complete page 123, 1-11 (odd). Of course I won't be here to check this tomorrow, but I will check Wednesday. It's up to you if you do it tonight or hold off--but you will have some multiple choice to do tomorow night as well.
Tomorrow, please use the 2000 AP problem data to do the following:
1. Draw 2 comparative histograms--so use the same scale on 2 separate axes--for flexibility ratings of young-adult and middle-aged men.
2. Compare the flexibility ratings of young adult and middle aged men.
Once you've graphed this and written your conclusions (talk about SOCS, and don't forget the context--who's more flexible?), you should start the 13 MC questions.
Hope you all have a good day! I'll miss you and chapter 6! Back to work on Wednesday!

Weekend HW
Hope you're all feeling confident after today's quiz! Your homework this weekend is to read chapter 6, and be prepared for a reading quiz on Monday. As always, you can take notes if you like, and any notes can be used on the quiz.
For those of you who prefer to do "math problems," I think you'll like this chapter. I know I'm excited for it! And then, before you know it, we'll be wrapping up our first unit and moving on to bivariate data! Woohoo!
If you're worried about today's quiz here's an opportunity for some extra credit--4 points--
Find a current news story/article that is based on quantitative data and bring it to class. If you bring a data set, please do not bring one with a sample size above 50. Ideally it should address the mean and standard deviation in the study.
