StatCrunch this week

Assignment 1:

• 
  
• Go to My Groups
• Click on RCHS group
• Click on the First Day of school data
• Make a graph of one or more variables on the survey
• Describe
• Print graph and description

Assignment 2:

• Find some data. Lots of it.
• You have to find data that contains both categorical and quantitative variables on the individuals.
• Go to My Data
• On the left, you'll see some options, choose the one that works.
• Make sure to Share with our group:
• If you are viewing the data in the StatCrunch, click Edit and then you can share.

• There is a cool new option that will grab data from a website
• Go to http://www.statcrunch.com/bookmarklet
• Go to that page and read about adding a bookmark called "StatcrunchThis".
• Then go to the website you want to grab.
• Click the bookmark
• Save and data and share it.

Make sure you have described your data so that everyone knows what all the variables mean.

You may do Assignment #2 with a partner IF both of you have joined the AP Stats group.

After you have done assignment #2, email me with your names, your names in StatCrunch and the name of your data set.

Assignment #1 will be checked in class on Friday.

Assignment #2 must be done by 8pm on Thursday night. Anyone who does not receive a reply email from me by 9pm on Thursday night will be considered late.

Find an interesting data set about something you care about!!!

Don't forget:  if technology fails you, just make a dotplot!
Or you could try making a graph on Statcrunch!
#24 is a problem with statistics done WRONG.  You task is to figure out what is wrong.

No homework today.
If you missed class, read the TI-Tip on page 11 and learn how to put data in your calculator.  Then read (in chapter 4) how to make a histogram.

I'll bring soda and water.

See you then!

O answers

If you want to check your answers to practice test O, click on the Blog Archive on right.  #1-5 are under April 2008 and #6 is May 1, 2008

Keep practicing!

Finish test O
Keep working on MC '07!

Name that test!

Name: D-4, F-6, H-2 O-6

Name and do:  L-4, L-6, O-2

Web site for Name that Test!

This web site loads slowly, but is pretty nifty:

 

http://www.ltcconline.net/greenl/java/Statistics/StatsMatch/StatsMatch.htm

 

Note: the wording on this website is more vague than the AP test. The AP test always asks for "a 95% confidence interval" if it wants an interval (or some other %). Also, the AP problems are longer, and thus have more information that will guide you to deciding what to do. 

However, I think that after you 10 or so of these, you'll get used to the wording of this site and it will be good practice. 

Note: this website includes prediction intervals, which you do not need to know.

Chapter 21 recap

Sample Size!
The bigger the sample size, the more power we have.
We also lower our chances of making either error.

More Sample Size!
We need to be careful with REALLY big sample sizes.
The standard deviation gets really small and you'll always get a small p-value.
This can cloud practical significance: use a confidence interval instead!

Ho is false!
If the Ho is really false, we have lots of power and very little Type
II error (dumb criminal).
If the true value differs only slightly from the Ho, we have little
power and may make a Type II error. (smart criminal)
This is called effect size.

Changing alpha
Making alpha smaller (0.01) makes it harder to reject.
We do this if want less Type I, but are willing to tolerate more Type
II and less power.
i.e., death penalty

Alpha and medicine
If the established treatment is highly effective, you demand a very
small p-value before rejecting (low alpha).
If the standard treatment is not very effective and you have reason to
believe it can be easily improved, you would be more willing to accept
a new treatment even though the p-value is larger (higher alpha).

Notes from today in class:

• What the heck is a "line of best fit"?
  
• Its real name is: Least Squares Regression Line!
  
• Or:  LSRL
  
• Least squares? least squares of what?
  
• The sum of all the residuals squared is as small as possible!
  
• Regression?  What does that word mean?
  
• r tells us how much to regress to the mean (example…)
  
• And speaking of mean:
  
• (x-bar, y-bar) is on the line (duh!).
  
• And btw:  the residuals always add up to zero.
• You should also note that if you switch x and y, the correlation does not change, but the LSRL does.
• You should never use a LSRL to predict x using y.  It is not created to minimize the predictions for x, only for y.

Powerpoint flashcards

Hey all! Happy studying! Those flashcards we did today can be viewed at:

A good answer from the quiz:

The boys collected more candy with a higher median (62) than the girls (45.5).
Both the boys and girls have an IQR of 25, so their spreads are similar.
The boys were skewed left and the girls were symmetrical.
