Hey, What's On Tuesday's Statistics Quiz/Test? (edited)

You should be prepared to do the following:

  1. Use a TI-84 calculator to enter 2 sets of data, find standard deviation and t-test.  You are responsible to know how to use the calculator--no instructions given!
  2. Describe the meaning of standard deviation and know what percentages of a sample are within 1 and 2 standard deviations
  3. Find the number of degrees of freedom and use this and a chart of critical values to find the critical value for 2 sets of data
  4. Interpret the meaning of the t-test value!
  5. Calculate uncertainty using the high-low divided by 2 method.
  6. Use data collected from a few quadrats to calculate the size of the whole (as you did in counting brine shrimp cysts)
  7. Count number of significant figures
  8. Compute and round using the appropriate rules
  9. Propagate uncertainty (one adding example and one multiplying example)
  10. Make sure that you show your work where asked and round all answers appropriately!
