Name ______________________________ Teacher ____________________________ Page | 1 Algebra I Per: ______ Page | 2 Unit 1: Statistics Topic A: Distributions and their Shapes Dot Plots: Each dot represents one piece of data in the set. The dot corresponds to the value that the dot is placed over on the number line. Histograms: A graph of data that groups the data based on intervals and represents the data in each interval by a bar. Shows the general shape of a distribution Box Plots: A graph that provides a picture of the data ordered and divided into four intervals that each contains approximately 25% of the data. Mean: Average (add all of the data values and divide by the number of values) Balance point: the sum of the distances to the right of the mean is equal to the sum of the distances to the left of the mean. Median: Middle value in a list of data in numerical order If there is an even number of values, the median is the average between the two middle values Mode: Data value that occurs the most times There can be more than one mode or no mode Range: Max Value – Min Value Practice Problems: 1.

Here are the data for ten students who were asked how many hours they spent watching TV last night. a. Construct a dot plot of the data on hours of TV. Would you describe this data distribution as approximately symmetric or as skewed? b. If you wanted to describe a typical number of hours of TV for these ten students, would you use the mean or the median? Explain and calculate the values of each. Student A B C D E F G H I J Hours of TV 2 1 0 3 4 1 2 2 4 3 Types of Distributions: Symmetrical: Mean and Median are approximately equal Usually use Mean as an approximation of the data Skewed: Median is the best approximation of the data Mound Shaped Uniform Skewed with a tail to the right Mean will be pulled by the “tail” Skewed with a tail to the left Page | 4 U Shaped Mean and Median are approximately equal but neither is a good indicator of typical data. Describing Variability and Comparing Distributions Deviations from the mean= Data value minus the mean (algebraically: x x ) The greater the variability (spread) of the distribution, the greater the deviations from the mean (ignore deviation signs) High Variability of data (wide spread) Large Deviations Dotplot of Value High Standard Deviation Low Variability of data (small spread) Small Deviations Low Standard Deviation Less predictable More predictable 3.

Page | 7 Categorical Data on Two Variables Categorical data are data that take on values that are categories rather than numbers (such as gender) A two-way frequency table is used to summarize bivariate categorical data. Super Telepathy To Fly Freeze time Invisibility Strength Females (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Total (f) Males Total (l) (r) (g) (m) (h) (n) (i) (o) Joint frequency: a, b, c, d, e, g, h, I, j, k Marginal frequency: f, l, m, n, o, p, q (j) (p) (k) (q) Relative Frequency: compares a frequency count to the total number of observations (Divide frequency by total and write as a decimal or percent) Super Telepath To Fly Freeze time Invisibility Total Strength y Females a/r b/r c/r d/r e/r f/r Males g/r h/r i/r j/r k/r l/r Total m/r n/r o/r p/r q/r r/r The marginal cells in a two-way relative frequency table are called the marginal relative frequencies, while the joint cells are called the joint relative frequencies. Conditional Relative Frequency compares a frequency count to the marginal total that represents the condition of interest. Divide frequency by the total of the condition of interest Condition of interest: Gender To Fly Freeze time Invisibility Super Strength Telepath y Total Females a/f b/f c/f d/f e/f f/f Males g/l h/l i/l j/l k/l l/l The differences in conditional relative frequencies are used to assess whether or not there is an association between two categorical variables. The greater the differences in the conditional relative frequencies, the stronger the evidence that an association exits. Page | 8 9.

What foal birth weight would you predict for a mare who weighs b. How would you interpret the value of the slope in the least-squares line? c. Does it make sense to interpret the value of the -intercept in this context? Explain why or why not. Prediction Error: Residual = actual y-value – predicted y-value Residuals are the vertical distances of the points from the least-squares line. Actual y value = data value from table Predicted y value = y value from plugging corresponding x value into the least squares line a. Meerkats have a gestation time of 70 days. Use the equation of the least-squares line , (where x = number of days) to predict the longevity (y) of a meerkat. b. The longevity of the meerkat is actually 10 years. Use this value and the predicted value that you calculated in (a) to find the residual for the meerkat. Page | 11 To make a residual plot, plot the x-values on the horizontal axis and the residuals on the vertical axis. Correlation Coefficient (r): measures strength of the relationship close to 1 or -1 = strong; close to 0 = weak If r is positive then there is a positive slope to the least squares line; if r is negative there is a negative slope to the least squares line Strong Linear Relationship Residual Plot will have NO pattern (random scatter) Weak or no linear Relationship Residual plot might show a quadratic or exponential (curved) relationship Correlation Coefficient will be close to 1 or -1 Correlation Coefficient will be close to 0 12.

Page | 26 Unit 3: Sequences Linear and Exponential Sequences A sequence can be thought of as an ordered list of elements. To define the pattern of the sequence, an explicit formula is often given, and for the purpose of this module, the first term is always found by substituting 1 into the variable for the explicit formula. A recursive sequence is defined by two pieces: o The first term of the sequence. A1 = 5 means Start at 5 o The rule for evaluating the sequence. An+1 = An – 7 translates to NEXT = PREVIOUS – 7 5, -2, -9, -16, - 23, -30, … The previous term and the next term of a sequence can be expressed in numerous ways – o a n 1 and a n , o a n and a n 1 , There are two types of sequences: 1. A sequence is an arithmetic sequence if there is a real number (known as the common difference) such that each term in the sequence is the sum of the previous term and . *Arithmetic sequences are also known as linear sequences. We know this sequence to be linear because it changes at a constant rate similar to a slope. The recursive formula for an arithmetic sequence is an1 an d . The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is an = a1 + d(n+1) 2. A sequence is a geometric sequence if there is a real number (known as the common ratio) such that each term in the sequence is a product of the previous term and . *Geometric sequences are also known as exponential sequences. We know this sequence to be exponential because it models exponential growth. The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is a n1 r a n . The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is an1 a1 r (n1) . Page | 27 55. Consider the following sequence: 9, 1, -7, -15, … i. Write an explicit formula that defines the sequence above. ii.
