Unit 3 review #23, 24, 28 and 35
test on thursday and friday

review

I passed out a 3 page review of Unit 3 today.
Due Monday.
Photograph Monday.
The free response problems are worth about 15 minutes of work and should be about one-third to one-half of a page.

experiments!

Ch. 13:
Read the first 2 pages

More statcrunch details

Still picking a data set? Go to:
http://rchscrunch.wikispaces.com/
and see what is still available. Be aware! The page numbers may have shifted a bit.
After you pick your data set, edit the page and put your pick on the page!
That's right, it is a wiki: that means you can edit it. Click "Edit", type in your data set to claim it. Then click "Save".

I will be available this Thursday and next Tuesday in a computer lab for help.

Good luck!

last week and today

Last week we did a few more simulations:  Ch. 11 #16 and 13
Tonight:
Describe how you would take a survey to assess the motivation that students have to get a Renaissance shirt. 
How would you collect the data?
What biases would you worry about?
What is the population?

report

Statcrunch exploratory data report

Goal: To show that you understand how to make and describe various
categorical and quantitative graphs and can use those graphs to
discover relationships in a large data set.

Output: A StatCrunch report that is completed and shared/emailed with
me and our RCHS statcrunch group.

Deadlines:

October 26th, Monday: Pick your data set and report it to me.
Note: your data must come from page _____ and can be chosen from the
top/bottom half. Go to Explore—Data to find your page. If that page
does not contain sufficient data, add 35 to your page number.

November 6th, Friday, 7am: Report must be completed, an email sent to
me and shared with RCHS group.

A few details:

*Categorical/quantitative graphs are both required.
*Scatterplots are not required, but are encouraged if they are
appropriate for your data. Likewise with regression equations.
*Your goal is find relationships in the data and describe them. The
most common way to do this is to graph one variable with respect to
another (movie revenue according to rating, pulse rate by gender,
etc…) However, graphs of just a single variable may be important as
well.
*This will count as a test grade.
*I will have a tutoring day in a computer lab for tech fearful!

Today we did a worksheet on transformations.

Ch 10!

Ch. 10 #9 and 10

Review answers

a) Yes! The residual plot shows no pattern
b) 233.5: For each year that goes by we predict about 233.5 more aircraft flying.
c) 89.9% of the variation in aircraft flying is explained by regression on year.
d) Plug in 2 (not 1992!): predicted aircraft = 2939.9+233.5*2 = 3406.9 aircraft.
e) residual at 2 = 40, so the actual was 3406.9+40=3446.9 or 3447
f) sqrt(.899) = .948 = strong, positive, linear relationship between year and aircraft.
g) On average, my predicted number of aircraft misses by about 33.43
h) aircraft-hat = 2939.93 + 233.5(year)
i) we predict in 1990 that the number of aircraft flying is about 2939.9

Study hard! I hope this helps!!!

some review ideas, Unit 1

Outlier fences:
Q1 - 1.5IQR
Q3 + 1.5IQR

sd is always positive
(or zero if all the data is identical)

Categorical graphs:
bar and pie

Quantitative graphs:
stem and leaf (shows data)
boxplot (can hide shape)
ogive/cumulative freq
dotplot
histogram

Independent data makes bar graphs with similar levels

The mean is lower than the median for skewed left data

Measures of spread:  IQR, sd and range
Measures of center: mean and median
Which of the above are resistant?  med and IQR

Rule of thumb:  68-95-99.7

z-score formula:  (x - mu)/sigma

• 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.

Nada

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.

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).
