AP EXAM Flashcards
(104 cards)
describe sistribution of quantitative data
- shape
- center
- variability
- outliers
must use comparative words
skewed left
mean<median
skewed right
mean> median
low outlier
low< Q1-1.5*IQR
High outlier
High? Q3+1.5*IQR
normal distribution emperical rule
1 sx: 68%
2sx: 95%
3sx: 99.7%
variance
standard deviation squared
find area of normal distribution on calc
menu 652
normcdf
find a value given eprcentile for normal distribution on calc
menu 653
invnorm
get z score for normal distribution
menu653 invnorm
mean: 0 sx:1
marginal relative frequency
% of individual with specific value in 2 way table
association?
yes, if knowing the value of 1 variable helps predict the other
-segmented bar graphs are same: no association; different bar graphs: association
scatterplot: 2 qauntitative variables
describe scatterplot
- direction: positive/negatove/none
2.form: linear/non linear - strenght: strong/ moderate/ weak
- unusual features: outsider patter/ clusters
-describe in context of problem using both variables
correlation r
shows strength and direction of linear association between 2 quantitativ e variables
-between -1 and 1
-unitless/ doesnt change w unit chaneg
interpret correlation r
About r% of variation in (responce Y) can be explained by the LSRL using (explanitory x)
how to calculate correlation r in calc
- spreadsheet of points
- menu 614
extrapolate
use regression line to prediuct w/ x vlaues outside of interval; less reliable
residual
ac
actual-predicted
“RAP”
interpret residual
Context had (residual) more./less context than the number predicted on the LSRL
residual plot linear?
yes if random scatter
-no if U shaped
coefficent of determination r^2
-proportion of variation respince (Y) that is explained by explanatory (x) in the lSRL
high leverage
-much larger/smaller x-valies than other points in data set
outliers (influential points)
-doesnt follow pattern and has large residual
