For Friday:

1.1 Two-Way Tables and Marginal Distributions, Relationships Between Categorical Variables: Conditional Distributions, Organizing a Statistical Problem 1. From a two-way table of counts, answer questions involving marginal and conditional distributions.
2. Describe the relationship between two categorical variables by computing appropriate conditional distributions.
3. Construct bar graphs to display the relationship between two categorical variables.
read/notes p. 12-21
p. 24; #19, 21, 23, 25, 27-32

1.2 Dotplots, Describing Shape, Comparing Distributions, Stemplots 4. Make a dotplot or stemplot to display small sets of data. Describe the overall pattern (shape, center, spread) of a distribution and identify any major departures from the pattern (like outliers). Identify the shape of a distribution from a dotplot, stemplot, or histogram as roughly symmetric or skewed. Identify the number of modes.
read/notes p. 27-31
p. 42; #37, 39, 41, 43, 45

1.2 Histograms, Using Histograms Wisely 7. Make a histogram with a reasonable choice of classes. Identify the shape of a distribution from a dotplot, stemplot, or histogram as roughly symmetric or skewed. Identify the number of modes. Interpret histograms.
read/notes p. 31-42
