AP STATISTICS SUMMER ASSIGNMENT Introduction: Welcome to AP Statistics. Below are the directions for the summer assignment for the 2017- 2018 school year. The purpose of this assignment is to get us off to a strong start to the school year by covering most of the first chapter of the course text. This will ensure that we have sufficient time to cover all of the material in the course and ample time to review for the AP exam. The first chapter is mostly a review of content you have learned in previous math courses. During the school year, you would normally have 7-10 days to get this work done. Please read these directions carefully and contact me by email at [email protected] if you have any questions about the assignment or require clarification about my expectations of the work that you do. Required Resources: The textbook we will be using is The Practice of Statistics Textbook (Starnes, Yates, Moore, 4 th ed.). I will refer to this book as TPS4E throughout the year. This textbook is well-aligned to the AP Statistics curriculum and the sample problems and activities will prepare you well for the AP Statistics exam. You will also need access to the internet and a TI-83/84 graphing calculator (you can use the Inspire, but I will be demonstrating problems on the TI-84+ all year). Tips on how to use each calculator are provided throughout the course textbook. Assignment: Read all of Chapter One: Exploring Data in TPS4E. There are 81 pages in this first chapter, but it is probably the easiest chapter we will cover. Pay careful attention to the sample problems in the blue boxes, the calculator procedures, and the AP Exam tips that are located in the page margins. Take notes and answer the questions as you read. The questions tend to follow the chapter in the order that the information is presented. When you come to alternative example problems, complete these to assess your level of understanding of the content., but they aren’t part of the actual assignment Complete the practice Free Response questions (FRAPPYs) that have been attached. Complete all of the problem sets for Chapter One that are listed below on separate paper. All work MUST be shown for these problems: o Page 7 (1, 3, 5, 8), Page 22 (11, 17, 18) o Page 24 (20, 22, 23, 27, 29, 32) o page 42 (37-43 odd, 44) o page 48 (69-73 odd), page 70 (83, 85, 88, 89) o page 71 (91, 93, 94a, 95), page 72 (99, 102, 107, 109, 111)
