FRIDAY!!!

Today we learned how to put a frequency table into our calculator.  (two lists).
Then we learned that you can graph it and find all the stats.  This is a handy tech tip that is not required, but might come in handy for the AP test.  Especially in Chapter 16, where the expected value and standard deviation formulas can take lots of calculator work, this tech tip can be useful. 

There will be an extra credit question on our next test regarding this topic.

If you want to read about this TI-Tech Tip go to:

**Page 43, last paragraph
**Page 68, last paragraph
**Page 313, the whole Tip

Error

There are now two posts that say "Wednesday".  22, 24 and 28 and the article is for Thursday, due Friday.

Thursday--a little help

22a)  13.7%
22b)  31.9"
22c)  What's shape?  ______
What's the mean?  _____
What's the sd? ______ (hint:  something divided by the square root of something)
22d)  0.005

24a)  skewed right--you can't stay for less than zero and a few people will stay a long time.
24b)  The CLT will guarantee normality for large sample sizes.  For individuals, we don't have a clue how to calculate probabilities for skewed distributions.

28a)  4.78%
28b)  (1 - 0.0478)^3 = 0.863
28c)  Like 22c above...
28d)  Basically zero
