You ready for the AP Exam?

This week you’ll find out — the practice AP Exam is Tuesday, April 21st, Wednesday, April 22nd, and Thursday, April 23rd during class.  A 3-day exam.  Does it count?  Yep, as your final exam.  20%.  (Not 25% as erroneously stated before.)

What should you study?  EVERYTHING.  The review handouts and your old tests are a good start.dwight1

Did you come here looking for an answer key?

Look on the back of your final exam review packet.  Yep.

 

LAST DAY OF THE EXAM IS TOMORROW – THURSDAY, APRIL 22nd:

Some of you are not reading the question!  READ THE QUESTION!  Part (a) on free response is GENERALLY the easiest.  So don’t read into it, just answer what is being asked. 

Also, answer IN CONTEXT.

Lastly, your conclusions should reference significance when inferring about a population (inference).

 

Here’s your answer key. Fool. April 1, 2009

REMINDER:

 

Steps for Inference (your book patronizingly calls this an “Inference Toolbox”):

 

Step 1. Hypotheses: Identify the population of interest and the parameter you want to draw conclusions about.     (For a significance test, state hypotheses.)

Step 2. Conditions: Choose the appropriate inference procedure.  Verify conditions using it.

Step 3. Calculations: If conditions are met, carry out inference procedure.

Step4.  Interpretation: Interpret your results in the context of the problem.  Interpret final calculations.  Don’t forget the 3C’s: Conclusion, Connection, Context.
