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).

I'm back! Yay!

It felt good to be back in Stats world. I think I actually missed you all quite a bit.

Tonight, please complete page 124: 15 - 23 (odd).

Tomorrow we'll go through any questions you may have, and keep pushing forward with this z-score stuff.

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.

Wednesday HW

Please complete the following problems:

Page 90: 10, 14, 34, 35, 42

Remember, we have our chapter 5 quiz on Friday. Tomorrow I will address any and all homework questions during our shortened period; if any time remains, we will start chapter 6.

This weekend your homework will be to read chapter 6 (and take notes if you like); there will likely be a reading quiz on Monday.

Those of you at the Big E--first off, I hope you had fun! I know you're back a little later tonight, so you can all give me the assignment above on Friday (but no later!). Also, you need not complete the odds due today, as you should be doing the comparing boxplots activity/matching instead.

I'll be posting later with some model explanations in comparing boxplots; these are incredibly important for our quiz, so check back!

I'm back (it's 6 hours later, I swear, just edited this post). I've put our word document with each class' written response to compare boxplot in the "Powerpoints and Assignments" link. Check it out!

Monday HW

Today the onslaught of quizzes began...

Tonight, please complete page 90: 9, 12, 13, 17, 19

Here's a few announcements for the days to come:

Tomorrow's HW-->page 90: 15, 21, 23, 25, 27

We will have a quiz Friday on chapter 5. To prepare, we will have an after school review for this quiz as our second focused tutoring session on Wednesday after school (half day Thurs).

New students--I would like to meet Wednesday after school with each of you to cover any missed content/questions and get you up to speed. Please let me know when you're availabe so we can figure out a day we all have available.

Hope you all had/have a good Monday--back to the grind!

Weekend HW

Your only homework this weekend is to complete the chapter 3 take home quiz distributed this past Monday. For those of you already done, rest up, relax, and come back ready to get those minds working for another 5 days.

I've posted the take home quiz under our Powerpoints and Assignments in case you need another copy. You can find it titled, "Ch. 3 Take Home Quiz" (creative, huh?). If you don't have it Monday, you will earn a 0, no questions asked.

Although I am usually willing to answer any questions at any time via email, I may be less willing for this assignment (especially if you email me Sunday night). I gave you a full week to work on this so that you could look at it and use the time to get help.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
