In this section you learned the basics of probability.   What is the definition of “probability”?    Given that definition, explain how you know that you must have done something incorrectly if you compute a probability and get an answer of 32/15?   Use your TI84 calculator to simplify the fraction 1592/6898.        […]

In this section you learned how to summarize data with a measure of center.   What 3 measures of center were discussed in this section of the book?   1.            __________ ________   2.            __________________   3.            __________________   What […]

In this section you learned about two more graphs for quantitative data.   •             What graph was discussed in this section that can be used when data are collected for one quantitative variable?   •             What graph was discussed in this section that can be […]

Fill in the following as you work through your given problems in MyOpenMath   1.            This is an example of an (observational study/designed experiment)   If this is an experiment, what variable was controlled by the experimenter?   2.            This is an example of an […]

In this section you learned how to make the most common graph for when data are collected for a single quantitative variable.   Name the graph you learned about in this section:   ____ __________________________   What is the formula used to compute the class width?   (Highest vale-lowest value)/(number of classes)   What are the […]

In this section you learned how to make appropriate graphs when data are collected for a single qualitative variable.   Name the two graphs you learned about in this section:   __________________________ and __________________________   Given a frequency, how do you compute the corresponding relative frequency?   ______________Frequency/(sum of all frequencies ) ___________________________   Fill […]

In this section you got a list of very important vocabulary that we are going to use throughout the entire course.   Define the following:   Individual:    Variable:     Population:   Sample:   Parameter:   Statistics:   In the rest of the course, the type of data will play a key role in what […]

In this section you learned about random variables and discrete probability distributions.   •             In this section we learned how to compute probabilities for normally distributed random variables using __________ ______ on the TI84.   •             We also learned how to compute values of the […]

In this section you learned how many things in everyday life can be modeled with a normal distribution.                   All normal curves have two parameters:  _____ and __ ___                   The center of the curve is determined by the […]
