Bell Ringer

  • Finish Ch 2 Exam

Objectives

  • Be able to use the Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7% Rule) to approximate the proportions of normal data falling in certain intervals.
  • Understand that standardizing (by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation) allows us to compare observations from different normal distributions.
  • Know that in order to use a standard normal table to do calculations involving normal distributions, we must first standardize measurements.
  • Be able to use the standard normal table (z-table) to find the proportion of observations below any value of z.
  • Be able to combine standardization with use of the z-table to find the proportion above, below, or between given values in any normal distribution.
  • Be able to use software such as Excel, Minitab, or SPSS, or graphing calculators to perform the calculations in D and E without having to convert to z-scores.

Review Ch 2 Exam

Objectives

  • Identify explanatory and response variables in situations where one variable helps to explain or influences the other.
  • Make a scatterplot to display the relationship between two quantitative variables.
  •  Describe the direction, form, and strength of a relationship displayed in a scatterplot and identify outliers in a scatterplot.

Correlation contest

Correlation facts - pg 156

 

Objectives

  • Construct and interpret residual plots to assess whether a linear model is appropriate.
  • Interpret the standard deviation of the residuals and r2 and use these values to assess how well the least-squares regression line models the relationship between two variables.
  • Describe how the slope, y intercept, standard deviation of the residuals, and r2 are influenced by outliers.
  • Find the slope and y intercept of the least-squares regression line from the means and standard deviations of x and y and their correlation
  • Identify explanatory and response variables in situations where one variable helps to explain or influences the other.
  • Make a scatterplot to display the relationship between two quantitative variables.
  •  Describe the direction, form, and strength of a relationship displayed in a scatterplot and identify outliers in a scatterplot.
  •  Interpret the correlation.
  • Understand the basic properties of correlation, including how the correlation is influenced by outliers.
  • Equation for correlation - pg 154
  • Equation for Linear regression - pg 183
  • Use technology to calculate correlation. Explain why association does not imply causation.
