Monday Homework

Ch. 12 #15, 16, 23, 24

Here are some of the class notes:

Calling on students for chance cards.

Simple Random Sample:
Use the Random Integer command on my calculator to randomly pick who to call on.
OR:
Put everyone's name in a hat and draw 5 names.

Stratified Random Sample:
I might stratify by class grades. Divide the class into five groups
(A, B, C, D, F) and randomly pick some students to participate from
each group. I think students with high grades are more likely to
participate and vice versa, so this will give me a good
representation.

Cluster sample:
Randomly pick one of the 8 table groups and call on everyone in that group.

Systematic Random Sample:
Use the roll sheet and pick every 5th person.
OR:
Pick every 3rd person as you arrive to class.

Population: Rancho Students
Question: Is RCHS a quality school?
Possible Strata?

Stratifying by GPA:
I would divide the student body into 3 groups: high, med and low GPA.
I would then randomly choose some students to survey from each group.
I think that each of these groups will have very different opinions
about RCHS and I want to make sure that each group is represented.

Review Answers

Well, you lazy bums. I suppose you're too busy on MySpace to e-mail me any answers, so here's a few:

17c) First take the squareroot of 0.924. I forget exactly what this is, but it is 0.9something. This tells us there is a strong, positive, linear relationship between tar and nicotine.

17d) For every 1 more mg of tar, we predict about 0.065 more mg of nicotine.

17e) Even with no tar, we still predict about 0.154 mg of nicotine.

1d) 92.3% of the variation in age can be explained by the regression on age.

1f) She is shorter than predicted, for her age.

1g) Wait until next week.

See you in the morning!
Now go to bed! :o)
