IMPORTANT POSTER REMINDERS:
Come to Sinclair tomorrow during advisory to hang your posters (your teachers have been informed). Many of you never came to pick up your printed poster tiles after school (you'll want to come into school early to trim these and hang them to make them look nice!!) Try to get here early. I'll be in Sinclair early (maybe around 7AM…).
Excited to see these all up tomorrow.
Come for the first 40-45 minutes of 7th period (or the whole period) so that judges can talk to you about your research and make their final decisions.

4.) Do a linear regression (Lin Reg) or LinRegT-Test (this must be done first before plotting the data)
5. Select a scatter plot to graph:
x-list: L1
y-list: RESID (you can choose RESID by hitting 2nd STAT and scrolling down to RESID (#8 on my calc).
6. Zoom #9 to see the residual plot.
**Note: I can store my residuals into a list by simply going to an empty list and selecting RESID (2nd STAT) when highlighting the list and pressing enter. Try going to a blank list to do this. It works for me.

STUDY FOR THE CHAPTER 11 TEST (Wednesday, March 5th)
I will be collecting HW 10-13. I have posted AP MC questions and solutions (quite tricky regarding type I and type II errors). You should also reread (particularly definitions of type 1 errors, type 2 errors, and power of a test). There is a summary of the chapter from an AP book as well. I also posted the review game slides from today with MC questions and solutions.
AP STAT BOOK LESSON
AP STAT MULTIPLE CHOICE (only do 1-8, 10, 13, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, and 24)
Solutions to MC
Finally, do some extra problems from the textbook. Review exercises!
Here's a story to illustrate a few points. Let's say that you are trying to prove that caffeine IMPROVES performance on the SAT. The null hypothesis is that caffeine has no effect on SAT scores. The alternate hypothesis is that caffeine improves your test scores (>). Let's set a significance level at 0.05. That means that there is a 5% chance of rejecting the null hypothesis, if the null hypothesis were in fact true (a type 1 error). We need enough evidence to suggest that caffeine improves test scores and that our results were unlikely to be have caused by chance variation (thats the whole point of setting a significance level).
Now let's say that caffeine really does improve SAT test scores. A type 2 error would be accepting the null hypothesis (saying that caffeine doesn't work), when the alternate hypothesis was actually correct (i.e. caffeine does improve test scores). A type 2 error is failing to reject the null hypothesis when the null was in fact false.
So what's power? Power is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis if the null hypothesis is in fact false. It is equal to 1 minus Beta (a type 2 error). Think of power like this: it is the probability of convicting a person of a crime who is in fact guilty.

We will start reviewing for the midterm on Wednesday.I will hand back tests on Wednesday (I have already started posting results on engrade for some people).
Like I mentioned in class, you might want to think about purchasing an AP Stats Prep Book. This is a nice tool for reviewing for the midterm and in addition you will use it as you prepare for the AP exam in May. I would suggest one of these two books (as I have had good experience with both of them).
1.) Barrons AP Statistics ($15 amazon prime)
2.) 5 Steps to a 5: AP Statistics ($15 amazon prime)
You could even purchase an older version (a year or two old) and it is essentially the exact same thing.

HW #30: Read section 5.1 (the whole section)
It's just reading tonight... but, please do the reading to stay up to date with the material. It's not a bad idea to make flashcards of the types of samples and biases from this chapter as there are quite a lot of terms that are important to know.
I have your HW journals still. I will be giving out some AP multiple choice questions and free response questions for the weekend.

USEFUL TEST PREP MATERIALS (CHAPTER 1-4)
One of the best ways to improve on Multiple Choice Questions is to practice multiple choice questions. Below is a really nice set of multiple choice practice problems on topics that we have covered from an AP Prep book. It is very extensive and there are a huge number of problems. They correspond with each of the chapters that we have worked on in class so far. Please use these to help you study. We will be looking at these tomorrow as well. The answers are included at the end of most of the sections. We worked on one two of these multiple choice sets already (Topic 4 and 5 in class).
Multiple Choice Problem Sets:
TOPIC 1: Graphical Displays (stemplots, boxplots, histograms)
Lesson from Topic 1 from Ap Stats Prep Book
TOPIC 2: Summarizing Distributions (histograms, skew, mean, median, z-scores)
Answers to MC Questions for Topic 2
TOPIC 3: Comparing Distributions (comparing graphs)
TOPIC 4: Bivariate Data (scatterplots)
TOPIC 5: Categorical Data

HW #29: Review for the Chapter 1-4 Test (complete the exercises below)
Chapter 4 Review Exercises: Page 316-319: #4.50, 4.52 (or 4.55 or #1.8 in the cumulative review-your choice ), 4.56
Cumulative Review: Page 320-323: #1.3, 1.4, 1.10
REMINDER: Our CUMULATIVE Test on Chapter 1-4 will be on Wednesday (11/20). The questions will be AP level questions and the format will be similar to our previous tests (half multiple choice and half free response). There will probably be MORE multiple choice questions than our previous tests however (in other words, it will be a bit longer). It will have a slight focus on Chapter 4, but not by much. It will mainly be a mix of problems from Chapter 1-4. The questions will be pulled from practice AP exams on topics that we have covered.
I will be checking HW #26-29 the day of the test (Wednesday).

CHAPTER 1: UNIT TEST TOMORROW
GET TO CLASS RIGHT AT 8:10AM Tomorrow (that way you have enough time to finish the test!)
-10 Multiple Choice Questions
-4 Free Response Questions (some with multiple parts).
We will treat tests in our class like the AP exam. The actual AP exam has 2 parts (a 90 minute Multiple Choice Section and a 90 minute free response section). Both are weighted equally in your grade. There is NO penalty for guessing on multiple choice questions (this is new from several years ago).
Our test will be weighted the same way. 50% of your grade will come from multiple choice questions and the other 50% will come from the 4 free response questions.
I will also collect your HW journal tomorrow to check HW #10-13. Be sure to bring this to class.
Review by rereading the textbook, looking at HW problems, and looking at your notes and slides that I posted online. Feel free to email me with any questions or meet during one of my free periods.

COMPUTER LAB ACTIVITY
Here is the data that we used in Minitab today. Remember that if you want to get a free copy of minitab on your PC for 30 days just go to www.mintitab.com and download a copy. After that, it costs $29.99 to rent for 6 months (which will cover the year) or $99 to buy for students. This is not required though as it is available on school computers.

TUESDAY, October 1st:
We will be doing some review for the test tomorrow and spending the majority of our time in the computer lab with Minitab (so that you have the tools to do graphs and analyses for your project). If you are interested in getting a free 30 day trial of the program on your home computer simply go to www.mintitab.com. They also have a 6 month license for $29.99 for students (typically the program costs $1400).
We will be using this program all year and it is available in Lubrano, but if you want a copy for home, it might be a good idea to get the free trial for the month and then to think about paying for a copy for yourself for the 6 months after (though this is not required). Note: It unfortunately only works on Windows.

HW 10: Textbook Pages
Recall that I will not check HW this week until the day of our Chapter 1 test which is scheduled for Tuesday, October 1st). However, I would highly suggest doing your HW every night so that you stay current with the material and don't fall behind.
NOTE: I lied to you today!! Well I just told you something that was false regarding the 1.5 IQR rule.
A data point is an outlier if the point is 1.5 x IQR greater than the 3rd quartile or less than the 1st quartile. I mistakenly told you it was above or below the median. In other words the point needs to be even more extreme of a value. Sorry for the mistake!!
Quiz Tomorrow: Friday (September 20th) on Section 1.1 of your textbook
(Graphical displays: Bar Graphs, Circle Graphs, Stemplots, Dotplots, Ogives, and Time Plots).
I won't be checking these problems but I would suggest doing some review problems from the following to review:
Read Section 1.1 Summary (Half Page) – Page 67
(Page 67-69): Exercises 1.19-1.26
Link to textbook pages
Also, review your notes and the sections from the book. You will have the whole period tomorrow to complete the quiz but probably won't need even close to that amount of time.
Have a great weekend!!
HW for Monday is just reading (Read Page 70-74 of your textbook).
REMINDER: Quiz on Friday on Section 1.1 in the textbook (Graphical displays: Bar Graphs, Circle Graphs, Stemplots, Dotplots, Ogives, and Time Plots).
HW #9: Ogives and Time Plots
Complete exercises #1.13-1.16 (pg. 64-65)
Read Pages 60-63.
(be sure to look over time plots as we didn't get to them in class - they are pretty straight forward to be honest (just put time on the x-axis and the variable you are measuring on the y-axis).
Textbook Pages (coming later).
HW #9
NOTE: If you're interested in some stat software that pairs with Excel, check out XLSTAT (link below). You can get a free 30 day trial. There are lots of other good similar programs out there and I'll be on the lookout for other software to download. We will be using Minitab this year in the computer labs which you can get for $30 for a year on your personal computer, but they only have a version for PC's and I know most of you are Mac users.
