12 SL Derivatives

Complete the following questions before our next class.

Exercise 14E questions 1 i and ii, 2, 3ab, 4b, 5ab, and 6.

Note that in some of these questions you’ll see an alternative notation for the derivative, \(\frac{dy}{dx}\). Whether you use this, or \(f'(x)\), usually depends on how the original function is given to you. So, both \(f(x)=x^2\) and \(y=x^2\) describe the same function (with derivative \(2x\), as we saw in class), but if we’re starting with \(f(x)=x^2\), then we’d write \(f'(x)=2x\), while if we’re start with \(y=x^2\), we’d write \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x\).

12 SL Vectors Test

The vectors test will be held on Friday, August 31st.

This test will cover all material on vectors (corresponding to Chapters 12 and 13 of the textbook).

The best way to prepare for this test is to complete as many of the questions on the Vectors Summer Review document, so make sure you do lots of those questions, and we’ll discuss the solutions in class on Monday.

12 SL The Normal Distribution Part 1

We’ll be finishing the course material over our next two classes, but we’ll also spend some time working thought normal distribution problems in our (long) class tomorrow.

So, while you’ll have some time to work on the questions below in class tomorrow, the more of these you can complete in advance, the more time you’ll have to focus on other questions involving the new material we cover tomorrow.

Exercise 24A questions 4, 6, 8
Exercise 24B questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 7

12 SL The Binomial Distribution

Complete the following questions before our next class.

Exercise 23A questions 3ac and 4a
Exercise 23D.2 questions 1, 2a, 4a

(We’ll continue with this material in our next class, and in particular we’ll look at the easy way to answer binomial distribution questions using our calculators.)

12 SL Linear Regression

After our overview of linear regression today, complete the following questions before our next class.

Exercise 21B questions 1
Exercise 21D questions 3 and 4
Exercise 21E questions 4, 5, and 6

12 SL Descriptive Statistics

Over the next two classes this week, you should be working on the following questions. (Check this list again on Wednesday, as more questions may be added!)

Note that some questions will require you to do some reading in the textbook. If you get stuck and can’t proceed, write a question in the comments section below.

Exercise 20B.1 questions 1a, 3, 11, 15
Exercise 20B.2 questions 4, 9
Exercise 20B.3 question 3
Exercise 20C questions 1a, 3, 4
Exercise 20D questions 1, 3, 4, 6, 8
Exercise 20E questions 2, 3, 5
Exercise 20F.1 questions 1, 2, 4, 5
Exercise 20F.3 questions 1, 4
