AP Statistics 2020-04-14

Announcements

TLDR: don't worry as long as you try your best, but make sure you've actually tried your best, and that means time.

These questions will be difficult. By Sunday you WILL be doubting if you can pass the AP test. But this is normal, and if you stay strong, your mathematical maturity is going to go way up in the next few weeks.

The good news is, because of the difficulty, I'll be grading based on effort. On the other hand, I expect a lot of effort. This replaces 245 minutes of class time and 120 minutes of homework per week. 1 question per day, 365 minutes per week/5 questions per week = 73 minutes per question.

Full credit will be that your attempt is correct, reasonable, or if stuck, appeared to take 30 dedicated minutes worth of effort.

Please do not attempt to cheat. At a minimum, cheating is defined as attempting to find answers online, or writing down any "help" you get from a friend if you do not understand every detail of what you are writing down. I do notice when two people use the exact same words.

Ideally, you'll do the assigned questions every day, and come get help from me during Math Hour or another time if you're stuck. Open note, open calculator. If you have truly tried your best and you are stuck and you can't use Google Meet, annotate your work with what is making you stuck, what you've tried, what you know, what you need to know, etc. Make it look like 30 minutes worth of effort.

Next week we'll do corrections on these (as well as get some new ones!). So, no videos this week, but they'll resume next week.

Math Hour: 12pm to 1pm
