  19. Important Parts of this Textbook • Three parts of a complete answer. The tell part is usually the most important! • Great examples to follow when doing your homework and classwork. • Will be used as closure activities

  20. Great section for helping you not make common mistakes. • Chapter Summary • Definitions with page numbers • Think; Show; Tell again

  21. Chapter 2 - Data * Read p. 7 to middle of p. 9 in the book Summary: * Context of the data is absolutely essential before we do anything! * The W’s (and H): Who, What, When, Where, Why, How * Data tables help organize the data * Each row of a data table is called an individual case

  22. * Individuals do not always mean people * Individuals = the things that we want to collect data from. People, animals, cars, etc. * Cases are usually from a SAMPLE of a larger POPULATION (hopefully representative) * POPULATION = ALL individuals that we want to conclude about * SAMPLE = small group of the population that we actually collect data from. Use this data to conclude about the population

  23. Read to middle of p. 11 • Variables are the “WHAT” of the data- things that were observed or collected. • Two types of variables: • Categorical: variable that names categories (words or numeric) • Quantitative: variable with numeric values, makes sense to take an average (must have units) - Examples: Colleges/Universities

  24. Homework • p. 17 #13-18 • Take online Quia survey by midnight tonight! See wikispace for link! • Read Ch. 1 -- 3 • Print Ch. 3 notes for tmrw! (if you want them) • Print formula sheet for the course • Last page of fact sheet filled out & signed- DUE FRIDAY
