Good Afternoon! :)


Today we received our take home test for the weekend on stats which is due monday.

• We are getting intructuons on how to go about doing this test cause its not like a normal test.

1. Do it yourself.----> you'll learn more.... you have an exam in 7 class days....
2. Plagiarism wastes your energy. (If you copy, then you re-do!)
3. EXPLAIN, EXPLAIN, EXPLAIN----> show work, justify, why? * if necessary, print/ capture, etc. use extra paper.
4. Use any/all resources you can think of.
5. SHOW EVERYTHING!!!

• We started a new unit aswell today Appllcations of Periodic Functions, slides will be posted!

Surprisingly cool in here. :)

Mr. Max has decided he will come into class on Sunday evenings from now on, at eight o'clock for up to two hours. He still has tutoring on Tuesday's after school, but this extra.

Today we began the class working on some old exams with Mr. Max to practise for our exam in about three weeks, I think. We did the questions on the stats unit we are working on now.

Google "z score formula" - identify all variables then answer:

Exercise 2 1-5, Exercise 3 1-9

Finally Nice In The Class Room

Well, today is much different then the other past couple days. It's finally nice enough to think in class. Almost the perfect temperature in here. It was about 27° in the classroom today. Thank-You to Brett for the nice cold treats. It helped make the day much better. We had talked about the Z-Score formula and the definition. Went over some examples and learned a lot.
Here is a site that will help you out with Z-Scores Click Here I found this site a lot of help.
Definitions : SAT - Standard Aptitude Test or Standard Assessment Test
Here are the notes and the video that was recorded today.
