Histogram quiz tomorrow! Make sure you can create a histogram (with the aid of your calculator) and answer questions based on reading the histogram (as discussed today in class)! If you were absent, talk to someone who was in class today--because you're still taking the quiz tomorrow!
For those of you who are at the Big E--have a blast! You'll have to make up the quiz when we return.
Tonight, please complete the AP Free Response question provided in class (year 2000, #3).
Remember, this is different than any histogram we've created thus far--you are given the frequencies to create 2 histograms (one for middle-aged, one for young men). Then, compare!
You can check your answers here: (just look for #3)

Back to Work!
Hopefully you all enjoyed the beautiful weekend--now it's back to work!
Tonight, please complete the following in your textbook:
Page 65: 3, 4,7,23, 35
Good luck!
And make sure you know how to make a histogram--ideally, first create it on your calculator, and then transfer this graph to paper. Practice, practice, practice!

Weekend HW
It's supposed to be a beautiful, cool, fall weather weekend--get outside and enjoy it! Go to the game tonight and support your classmates as well! I'll have to wait until the next home game (tonight is a friend's birthday).
This weekend, please complete the following:
For each of the following four problems, please create a histogram. Then, in 2 complete sentences, describe what you see in the graph (the distribution). Try to provide one sentence that gives a general statement about what the graph tells us about the given context; then, add a second sentence providing some specific support/data that you can read from the histogram.
The data you will use can be found on...
Page 67: 17, 19, 21, 22 (all histograms!)
Feel free to email with any questions.
It's important that you practice doing these both by hand AND using your graphing calculator. For calculator help check out page 54-55 in your book, or use the link to the right (Using Your Graphing Calculator).
I've also updated the powerpoints (sorry about that Sandra).
Enjoy the weekend! See you Monday! (hopefully with good news about your quiz grades) :)

Quiz Tomorrow!
Study, study, study! Get an A on your chapter 3 quiz tomorrow! Remember, it'll cover categorical displays, probability questions using contingency tables, and independence--you've seen everything on it. There won't be any surprises.
Tonight, please complete questions 17 and 31 in the chapter 4 exercises.
Good luck! Looking forward to tomorrow!
Stay cool! It's 35 million degrees out!

Two's Day Homework...
Great work today on independence! We have lots of great posters hanging around the classroom with a variety of graphs and two main approaches to the problem--let me know if you want to take a poster home to hang on your bedroom wall.
Tonight, please complete the following:
Page 65: 11a, 14a, 19a, 21a
For three of these you need to make a stemplot, and for one a dotplot--we haven't discussed this in class yet. I expect you to use your resources (textbook, the blog, the internet...) to help if you're stuck! Do your best!
Tomorrow we'll get into quantitative displays and summaries--lots of numbers!
Finally, don't forget we have a quiz on categorical displays and independence on Wednesday! Study! (it shouldn't take the entire period...)

Monday...back to work!
Tonight, please complete the following:
Page 39: 21, 27d
Both of these deal with the idea of independence; continue to think about the Titanic problem we began looking at today as you do your homework. Tomorrow you'll have about 15 minutes to get to work with your groups and finish your posters before we discuss!
We will have a chapter 3 quiz on Thursday. We will start chapter 4 on Wednesday, but I wanted to give you an extra day to come after school (Weds) in case you have any questions!
