AP StatisticsFriday, 06 September 2013 • OBJECTIVETSW construct histograms & scatterplots. • ASSIGNMENT DUE • WS Graphing (wire basket) • ASSIGNMENTS DUE MONDAY • Sec. 3.1 • Sec. 3.2 • T-Shirt money is due TODAY ! ! ! !
How to describe a graph Dotplots Stem & leaf plots Histograms Boxplots
1. Center • discuss where the middle of the data falls • three types of central tendency • mean, median, & mode
2. Spread • discuss how spread out the data is • refers to the variability of the data • Range, standard deviation, IQR
3. Type of distribution • refers to the overall shape of the distribution • symmetrical, uniform, skewed, or bimodal
4. Unusual occurrences • outlier - value that lies away from the rest of the data • gaps • clusters • anything else unusual
5. In context • You must write your answer in reference to the specifics in the problem, using correct statistical vocabulary and using complete sentences!

Displaying Bivariate Numerical Data A response variable measures an outcome of a study. An explanatory variable attempts to explain the observed outcomes. • The explanatory variable is always plotted on the horizontal axis of a scatterplot.
Displaying Bivariate Numerical Data Two variables are positively associated when above-average values of one tend to accompany above-average values of the other, and below-average values tend similarly to occur together. Two variables are negatively associated when above-average values of one accompany below-average values of the other, and vice versa.
Displaying Bivariate Numerical Data To construct the median trace of a scatterplot, • first slice the plot into vertical strips of equal width; • compute the median of the y-axis in each strip and plot this median vertically above the horizontal midpoint of the strip; and • connect the medians by straight line segments to form the median trace.
