Warm-up1.0 Types of Data and Graphs

On a piece of paper write (in general) how histograms and bar graphs differ.

The warm-up is individual work. Work on your own. We will share our answers as a class later.

My Introduction Sheet!

A.P. Stats Course Description

Course had 4 units and How you will be gradedWe will be covering four major units. They are Data Analysis,Experimental Design, Probability and Inference. These concepts areuseful to everyone.

How will you be graded? Participation 10%

Homework 10%Quizzes 15%Tests 40%

Mid-term/Final 25%0 = no work shownSkipping problems will result in points lost.For ex. Skipping the last 1 will result in 15/20. Skipping graphs will result in losing at least half.

H.W. Discussion Groups

ExpectationsDaily Routine1. Warm-up (First 10 minutes)2. Review of Homework ( 10 – 15 minutes)3. Notes/New material (varies)4. Practice and Activity (varies)5. Homework (Last 5 to 15 minutes)Classroom RulesBe in your assigned seat before the tardy bell rings, ready

forclass to begin.Come prepared to class: math binder, textbook, calculatorand correction pensFollow directions the first time given.Use appropriate language and voice.Follow school policy.

At the beginning of class, have out the previoushomework assignment out. Get any handouts youmissed from last class. Borrow notes from a classmate to copy. You have until next block to make up any missedassignments. Talk to a classmate or check on Sharepoint tofind out what you are missing. If you missed only the day of the announced test or quiz orthe review day, be prepared to take the test the day youreturn.

What to do if you were absent the previous class?

First H.W. Assignment Filling in Introduction sheet

Expectations for Lecture - Teacher directed instruction

Looks like• Eyes on speaker, smartboard or

notes• Hands raised before speaking.• Fill in and complete notes to

show you are listening• Everyone is in their seat with

the exception of the speaker• Cell phones and devices are put

away

Sounds like• Only one voice at a time • When asking a questions use a

voice that can be heard by everyone

• Calculator noise, writing are acceptable other noises (pencil sharpener, talking should not be heard)

• All verbal participation should be related to the topic discussed and should be positive

Being off task or disruptive during this time will result in a warning. After a warning, there will be documentation.

1.0 Types of DataThere are many types of data and different ways to organize(summarize) them in graphs.Qualitative DataBimodal – What is your gender? Are you employed?Categorical (Nominal) – What is your blood type? What isyour ethnicity?Quantitative Data (numerical) discrete OR continuousDiscrete – How many siblings do you have? Rank (1 – 5)the importance of sleep.Continuous – How tall are you? Temperatures in OrangeCounty during the summer.

Types of Graphs for different data

Categorical, Bimodal, Discrete Ordinal can be put ina bar graph OR Pie Chart.

Continuous Ordinal There are many choices of graphs when it comes toContinuous Ordinal Data.

Other graphs

General Directions for Activities – Group work• Talk only about the assigned task• Everyone must participate and contribute• If you have questions, look at your paper first, if you

can’t find an answer than ask me.Participation Grade• Participation grade is given when working on an

assignment or activity in class.• If you work on task and you get a predetermined

amount of the assignment done this should be an easy A.

Data Collection Class Activity1. How many books did you read this summer?2. Did you leave the state this summer?3. What was your favorite movie released this

summer?4. How many volunteer hours did you accumulate

this summer?5. Signature length.Pick one of the following graphs for the informationabove (Do not repeat types of graphs – all graphsshould be different).Pie chart, bar graph, histogram, stem and leaf plot, box and

whisker, OR dot plot

When you finish all 5 graphs

• Check that they have the appropriate lables and

• Then start on your introduction sheet or reading 1.1.
