stat review guide

There are 8 problems on our stat test.  Not too much calculation, more analysis.


make sure you can tell the difference between an experiment, survey and ob study

make sure you can construct a survey without bias or point out what makes a survey biased

make sure you can take a data set and make either a bell curve or box n whiskers:  calculators encouraged

make sure you can find the z score for a number if you have mean and stand. dev.


know the 68-95-99.7 rule and how to find probabilities on a normal curve

make sure you can compare two data sets and come up with a statistic that says which group did better


I think the best things to look back on are the situational work we did in class but there are some problems that I found in the book.
