Most students that struggle with statistics fall behind at some point, avoid this like the plague. One day at a time, statistics is easy! If you blow off a few days, it can become much more challenging.
If any student has a physical, learning or psychiatric disability that restricts the development or expression of your gifts, please feel free to let me know so that we can, when possible, make accommodations that will enhance your classroom experience.
Plagiarism, or copying answers from other people or books without citing the source is a serious offense and will result in no credit for the work. It is OK to discuss your answers with other groups on group assignments, but the work you turn in must be your own.
The TI-83 calculator is required for this course. It performs many useful statistical calculations with the press of a button. No prior knowledge of the TI-83 is assumed but the TI-83 will be utilized extensively in this course. The links below point to files designed to help explain some features of this pocket computer. The first two links are introductory in nature and designed to help familiarize new users with some basic features of the TI-83. The remaining links will only make sense as we progress through the semester.Introduction : A general introduction to the TI-83 calculator.
Graphing : Several basic operations related to graphing functions are covered in this document.
Normal Calculations : Probabilities associated with normal distributions are covered.
Linear Regression : Correlation, scatterplots and least squares linear regression are looked at briefly on the TI-83.
Confidence intervals and significance or hypothesis tests with the TI-83.
Day one information sheet.
Mean and Median in relation to resistence to outliers.
Correlation , a number that describes the association (positive or negative) of a scatterplot, and how close the scatterplot is to being linear.
Association-Causation activity. A look at two variables, life expectancy and number of persons per TV set for various countries.
Using RandInt on the TI-83 to select SRS's of size n. Class data from the SRS activity.
Looking at the distribution of sampling statistics using M&Ms. Class data.
Confidence intervals (class data), using the TI-83 to create many good and bad confidence intervals.
Introduction to significance tests activity.
Z versus T procedures and two-sample, one-sample activity.
quiz 1 , exam 1 practice , quiz 2, exam 2 practice, quiz 3, exam 3 practice, final exam practice.
