We went over several problems which focused on choosing the appropriate test depending upon the stated claim to be tested. We worked on how to differentiate between when an interval is more useful than a test statistic, and then we began working with tests and intervals for two populations. We made sure to use the formula sheet that will be the AP Statistics Exam and verify answers using the TI84 calculator.
Assignment
Finish the confidence interval question and work the similar problem.
We worked on how to finish writing the report for the Waist to Hip Ratio project. We defined her research questions and converted them to hypotheses for z tests and confidence intervals. We determined table format and graphs which she will include in the paper. We spoke at length about how to make her introductory paragraph interesting and how to back it up with fact. We went over parenthetical references and I provided several links to resources which will further assist her in writing her report.
I went over Emma's homework assignment and we reviewed some of the material from past sessions of which knowledge is required to understand how to find a test statistic. We spent a good deal of time helping her to understand how to use the AP formula packets.
