I'll start today by going over some of my procedures and systems for class and answer student questions about what to expect......and hopefully dispel a few myths about AP Biology too. Syllabus

We'll revisit the problem of figuring out when a real patter exists and when it doesn't.

To begin working our way out of this problem we begin learning a few skills on how we describe groups using numbers. Our first example will be to collect resting heartrate data for the class.

HERE is the statistics lab packet that I will reference during this unit.

Please watch THIS VIDEO as an excellent overview of how we use central tendency to represent groups of numbers and how the mean can sometimes give us the wrong idea about what a particular group is like.
