Test Review

skills i need to have--

  1. Measures of central tendancy (mean, mode, median)
    - measures of spread/variability(range, standard deviation of a population)

    GROUPED(Frequency table..L1etc.) VS UNGROUPED DATA.(single list)
  2. Normal Distributions / Z-Scores
    -ronblond, normalcdf..... etc.

    *Is it normal or not?
    68-95-99.7 rule... 3 sets of tallies.. look in notes.

    Areas under the curve vs scores based on areas under the curve..

    Standardized tests
    - z-score..
  3. Bionomial Distributions
    -mean=n times p
    standard deviation = sq root n times p times q
    p = prob success
    q = prob not success

    - binompdf(# of trials, prob success, no of success)
    - binomcdf ' ' ' '

    pdf - " exactly "
    cdf - " at most "
  4. Confidence Intervals
    Stat - tests - A : 1 propZInt

    x=mean
    n=n
    c-level = either 0.9, 0.95, 0.99

    *read the question, or it'll lose me marks.
    - either precentages
    - real numbers of .. "3 ice cream cones.. "
    (... times the decimal.. with the number of ice cream cones)



*What does it (the interval) mean?
