- Know the terms frequency vs. relative frequency, and
be able to read or construct, based on a given set of data, a frequency distribution,
a histogram (a.k.a. a bar chart), a frequency polygon (a.k.a.
a line graph), and/or a circle graph (a.k.a. a pie chart).
- Be able to calculate grade point average (g.p.a.):
1 credit hour of A = 4 grade points |
g.p.a. = total # grade points
total # of credit hours
|
1 credit hour of B = 3 grade points |
1 credit hour of C = 2 grade points |
1 credit hour of D = 1 grade points |
1 credit hour of F = 0 grade points |
- Be able to calculate various sports statistics:
Baseball —
Batting Average = # of Hits ÷ # of At-Bats
Slugging Average = # of Bases (attained from hits) ÷ # of At-Bats
Earned Run Average = # of (earned) Runs ÷ # of Games
Basketball —
Free Throws are worth 1-point each.
Field Goals are worth either 2-points or 3-points.
Racing —
distance = speed × time, speed = distance ÷ time, time = distance ÷speed
- Be able to calculate the mean
( x
or µ), median (MD), and/or mode (m) for a given set of data.
Analyze these measures of central tendency (averages) in order to assess what they indicate about a given
set of data.
- Be able to calculate the range (r),
variance (σ 2), and/or
standard deviation (σ) for a given set of data. Analyze these measures
of dispersion (variability) in order to assess what they indicate for a given set of data.
- Know the basic characteristics of a normal distribution, and be able to make inferences based
on a given set of data (using Figure 1 in the section 3 Notes, p.4.3.1).
- Know how to apply the standard normal distribution (using the
Standard Normal Distribution of
z-score Interval Area Percentages) in order to analyze
any normally distributed population data. Solve application problems by calculating
z-scores to find percentages of data in an interval,
and vice versa...
