We made it through a full week! Only three more to go until the holiday break!

Here's some fun homework for you to consider....make sure you're using the appropriate names of the sampling methods and biases!

This weekend, please complete....

Enjoy!

And don't forget--simulations quiz tomorrow!

One more night of simulations...

Tonight, please work on the following:

Page 268: 24 (10 trials), 29 (5 trials), 33 (10 trials)

For each scenario, please...

1. Write a procedure
2. Conduct trials (use your graphing calculator)
3. Write a conclusion!

Enjoy!

We'll have our in class simulation quiz once I return your take home quizzes--I want you to have a chance to see what you did right/wrong to study!

Back to work...

Tonight, please complete the (other 2) simulations provided in class (on the powerpoint slide handout).

Tomorrow we'll see how our answers match up against the group's suggestions to check our homework!

Thanksgiving HW

So the Thanksgiving take home quiz is due Monday (and uploaded under our resources and assignments)...

Here's the writing template for some procedure help...
1. Generate ___ digit random integers from ____ to ____.
2. Let _____ represent _____.... (define what numbers represent which categories)
3. Generate random integers until (provide a stopping rule!)
4. Record.... (what data should I record from my simulation?)
5. Repeat. Conduct ____ trials

And here are some HINTS:

• If you use numbers 01-50 you will have to ignore any numbers over 50; therefore, I recommend you either use 0-9 or 00-99
• To do that, many of you like percentages...
• Well, 5 people out of 50 win $200 so that's 5/50 or 10%.
• 15 people out of 50, or 30% win $100....
• And so on....
• Now you have percentages which will make your breakdowns easier!
• Also, this contest is done without replacement. That means once you use a number, it's out (for instance, if you draw a "3", then you cannot have another person win with a "3")

Thanksgiving! (Already?!)

Tis the time to give thanks...and if you're in a lot of AP classes, probably do a lot of homework. I did my part and gave you all some multiple choice and a simulation to enjoy!

So, for break, please complete the take home quiz--the simulation regarding blood type, as well as the multiple choice. I've uploaded these under our classroom resources in case you lost them.

Other than that, enjoy your time off. Maybe some Black Friday shopping? I still need NBA2K13 for my Xbox...

See you all Monday! Come back well rested and ready for a simulations quiz the week of our return!

And as always, feel free to email with any questions. fred.carofano@gmail.com.
