2014-2015 AP Statistics Student Analysis

Someone once said, “Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.” I use to think that I couldn’t take AP because it was too difficult. But I’m willing to prove to myself and others that just because something is considered hard, doesn’t automatically mean it’s not for you or that you’re going to fail. I want to take AP Biology because I want to challenge myself, of the benefits, and for the experience. I believe that hard work comes with great rewards that are life changing.

Due to financial hardship, the Nyke shoe company feels they only need to make one size of shoes, regardless of gender or height. They have collected data on gender, shoe size, and height and have asked you to tell them if they can change their business model to include only one size of shoes – regardless of height or gender of the wearer. In no more 5-10 pages (including figures), explain your recommendations, using statistical evidence to support your findings. The data found are below:

Joel has done excellent work with all of the topics we’ve studied. He missed quite a few days of school this semester, but managed to keep up with the material very well. Joel has a very organized and methodical approach to his work. His serious attitude makes him a good candidate for taking on the challenge of AP Statistics next year. I look forward to working with Joel the rest of the semester.

I conducted a survey, asking 20 females and 20 males their favorite food group for my AP Statistics project. I surveyed on Wednesday, September 27 and on Thursday, September 28 at Marshall High School. They chose from protein, grain, vegetables, fruit, and dairy. From the data, I found that 10 males and 2 females liked protein best, 3 males and 2 females liked grains best, 1 male and 1 female liked vegetables best, 3 males and 13 females liked fruit best, and 3 males and 2 females liked dairy best. Half of the males liked protein best, while most females liked fruits best. The least amount of both males and females liked vegetables. From this data, we can see that males like protein more than females do, and females like fruit more than males

Today’s consumers are constantly trying to judge the quality of products. But what is quality? How and by whom is quality determined? Some would say the designer creates specifications, which in turn dictate the quality of a product. That quality is also based on the acceptable value of a part within a whole product.

There is no state that has designated the Eastern Red Cedar as its state tree.

For this assignment we needed to compute the mean, median, and mode for five quantitative variables. The five that were computed in this assignment were number of total prior arrests, number of prior misdemeanors, number of total prior convictions, number of prior felony arrests, and number of drug convictions. The mean is defined as the average in a group of numbers, the median is the middle number in a group, and the mode is the most frequently occurring number in the group.

This course definitely improved my knowledge and ability by helping me build a foundation of statistical methods and principles. I feel that I am now able to perform advanced quantitative studies of research in my current health profession as a Healthcare Sergeant in the Army. I am now able to implement the probability theory on which inferential statistics are based as well as being able to distinguish between a statistical sample and a population. Throughout the course I realized through evaluation of my work and feedback from Dr. Willson that my weak points were conducting parametric and nonparametric inferential statistical tests with the chi-square analyses. I could have performed better by researching outside of the required readings

As my transcripts reveal, I have taken substantial courses in both statistics and mathematics. Three years' painstaking study equipped me with a solid mathematical foundation and a deeper understanding of Statistics. I vividly recall the excitement of exchanging ideas with my peers and the achievement of solving questions independently. Moreover, sharing my passion, I helped some of my classmates for the preparation of final exams. I taught them the methods of regression analysis, the connection between stochastic processes and time series, and wide application of mathematical statistics, etc. Through teaching them, my devotion to Statistics became even deeper. In the final evaluation, I received scores above 90 in those statistical lessons. More importantly, my understanding was largely consolidated and

I have been teaching AP Statistics for last five years. It is a college class that offers five college credits. I noticed with their PAL background, majority of these students are self-motivated and extremely committed towards their college goals. Every year I ask my advanced students, “how many of you attended PAL at elementary level” and a big majority will acknowledge attending this program. I asked my 2016-17 AP Statistics group about PAL program, and 45% acknowledged attending this program at WH and they also acknowledged attending more than one AP class this year. A lot of these kids are self-motivated and ready to accept new challenges on daily basis. I strongly believe that they adopted these skills from PAL program. These skills are
