During this 2-week closure, you *might* be looking for stuff to stay sharp (yes, we know... you might NOT).
For those of you that ARE, we have collected the first nine test reviews here. Please note: You are NOT required to look at these reviews. We are NOT taking any grades during this two weeks shutdown (not even for extra credit). This is only for your convenience should you decide you want to look over the older material. Hopefully we will have more to share by April 6 - until then, please stay well!
As for Unit 10, College Board has announced that this year's AP exam will not cover chi-squared tests or slope inference (that lesson is just below this post). Thus we are no longer testing over the last unit (chapter 12 in the textbook)... but if your inner curiosity is dying to know what the last test review (which we are no longer assigning this year) looked like, here it is:
Before we go any further, please understand:
WE ARE NOT TESTING OVER THIS LESSON.
WE ARE NOT ASSIGNING ANY HOMEWORK OVER THIS LESSON.
THIS STUFF WILL *NOT* BE ON THIS YEAR'S AP EXAM.
That said, we wanted to post the notes and lesson videos for anyone that just wanted to sate their curiosity about what the final lesson of the year would have looked like. So if you have better things to do with your time, please feel free to ignore this.
That said, here are the notes along with the textbook publisher's videos for the final lesson that was originally planned for Tu/W, March 24/25:
Important: If you have class on white day, you will get these in class on Monday AFTER Spring Break.
These are due in class on Tu/W, March 24/25:
If you forgot all of your regressions stuff, this reference from October might be handy!
Here are the class notes for chi-squared tests (which covers M-Th, March 9-12). Sections 12.1 (Goodness of Fit) and 12.2 (Homogeneity and Independence) provide good supplemental reference for these lessons.
Here is the test review for the unit over inferences with means:
This is the lab activity that we did in class today (F/M, Feb 28/Mar 2), along with data to use if you were absent:
You'll receive the test review in class on Tu/W of next week (March 3/4), but if you want to start it early, here it is:
Here are the two worksheets that are due next block (F/M, Feb 28/March 2). Note that both of these contain both means AND proportions problems. Please be sure to follow the instructions.
Here are the notes and homework packet for class today over paired t-procedures (difference in means between two NON-independent sets of measurements).
Here are the notes for 2-sample t-intervals and 2-sample t-tests. Like with 2 samples with proportions, you are NOT required to write out the formulas or show work - just do the procedures on the calculator (if you write the formula/work, it will count against you if not written correctly!).
Additional reading in the textbook is available in sections 10.2 and 11.2 if you desire.
Here are the notes for the first lesson of the inference with means unit. You may also wish to read up in sections 10.1 (1-sample t-intervals) and 11.1 (1-sample t-tests) of the textbook.
Here is the test review for the last test of this 4th six weeks (scheduled for W/Th, Feb 12/13):
Additionally, there are four multiple choice problem sets ("Progress Checks MCQ" Sets A - D) on AP Classroom that correspond to the current unit. These are NOT required and are not for a grade, but are available if you are looking for more MC practice . Log in at apclassroom.collegeboard.org. (Still haven't joined your classroom? Join codes were posted here)
Here's the homework packet for today, due M/Tu, Feb 10/11:
Here are the notes for the day:
Here are the notes for the all-important intro to hypothesis tests (sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the textbook).
Today is the start of inferential statistics. In addition to the notes posted below, you may wish to read through sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the textbook.
Here is the full review for the first major exam of the second semester (scheduled for Th/F, Jan 23/24):
If you missed class, there was a group review (which as a reminder, we do NOT post online). You can also go back and read through sections 7.1 through 7.3 of the textbook.
Please take this survey as soon as possible:
For the last section of the unit, we cover sampling distributions with means (section 7.3 of the textbook). Slides and examples:
Today's lesson covers sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the textbook (sampling distributions with proportions). Here are the slides (which cover the theory) and examples:
Don't have the full (new) textbook? The publisher has provided a PDF of chapter 7 as a temporary courtesy:
Note for those of you doing your own reading: We have not covered sampling distributions for a difference between two population proportions (pages 493-497)... yet.
If you missed class, you will have missed a lab activity that you will need to speak to your teacher about making up. Homework problems can be found in chapter 4 of the textbook (in the flimsy 1st semester paperback).
Here is the new calendar for six weeks number four, on which tonight's HW set is outlined:
In case you are not able to get the full textbook in time, here is a direct link to chapter 7 of the new textbook (which we won't need until NEXT block):
Please be aware that you will need to be able to access the rest of the textbook very soon, either electronically (follow the "ONLINE TEXTBOOK" link above) or by checking out a book from the textbook office!
Hopefully everyone had a wonderful week off!
Here are the handouts for the next week:
If you are missing class today (Tu/W, Nov 19/20), please print out the following two handouts.
This first one is a mixed set of probability problems. If you were absent, please use the probabilities given on this worksheet (instead of numbers that your classmates may have gotten):

Here are the slides over the last lesson of this 2nd unit:
Here are the slides from class today (chapter 1.2 in the text also covers today's material).
If you missed class today, you'll want to either read through section 1.1 in the text, and/or go through the slides. Be sure to check the calendar for the homework assignment.
While there is no "homework" proper after today's test, we do need every student to join their AP classroom in preparation for the new (early) exam registration deadline. Please...
Please take care of this ASAP, as you MUST register for the exam and pay the $40 deposit by OCTOBER 4, 2019!!!
Here is the review for the first major test (scheduled for Th/F, Aug 29/30), due at the beginning of the block on the day of your exam:
(There was also an in-class Group Review, which is not posted online)
Looking for extra things to go back over? We recommend...
Find us in tutorials before your exam if you have questions!
Here are the slides and HW problems (in case you don't have access to the textbook).
Next block is our review for Unit I, and the first major exam is the unit after that!
We'll get the test review NEXT block, but in case you want it early, here it is (not due until Th/F, Aug 29/30).No handouts today, but the slides are posted below. Most of these were to reinforce vocab terms from the big unit 1 vocab packet, and today's material is covered in the section 4.1/4.2 of the textbook.
When you get the chance, please follow the instructions at this link to setup your online textbook access. Due to a temporary shortage of textbooks, this will be required to access the homework problem sets and reading.
The initial setup should be done on a computer/laptop, but afterwards, you can login here via mobile device (on mobile devices, it seems to work better in the mobile app - "Bookshelf" by Vitalsource)
Here are the notes and handouts over sampling methods (there was an in-class activity with the Jellyblubbers - those handouts are NOT posted here however).
Also, if you'd like to try to access the online textbook, start at this link. (We should be picking up physical copies next block)
Here are the handouts for the first day (Th/F, Aug 15/16) of AP Statistics:
If you plan to purchase a new graphing calculator for use at home, we recommend the TI-84 Plus CE Graphing Calculator (rechargeable battery, color screen). These are the calculators that we have at school for classroom use. If you have an older model TI-84 however, that should be fine as well.
