<p>compared to the 2006 (which was supposed to be hard, with mean score less than 1), I could say this one was MUCH MUCH easier.</p>
<p>I think they made it easier, realizing that they made it too hard last year.
(poor 2006 stats test takers)</p>
<p>please do not discuss the problems but just commenting on how trivial it was.</p>
<p>One of the individual sections of #6 was pretty hard. The rest were doable.</p>
<p>i think #6 was tailor made for classes that actually took stats seriously and finished the curriculum. i think the schools that consider stats a blow off class got tripped up on this one but i could be wrong</p>
<p>it was the last chapter for YMM...
yeah maybe ur right.</p>
<p>I don't know about y'all, but I'm glad I took Stat sophmore year, when they had connecting the dots as the #6 problem. ;)</p>
<p>yeah it was pretty easy, too bad i didnt finish it. i graphed the stuff but didnt get to the last part</p>
<p>The people who say #6 was hard was probably those who never got to the end of their stats book =P</p>
<p>We only went over it briefly in class too, so it was kind of iffy for me ... but I tried to make sense out of all the questions, and wasn't SO bad in the end. I think my answers were logical. =) i "think" anyway</p>
<p>i skimmed over it myself b/c my teacher never got to it, and i vaguely knew what it was about.. and only guessed at the process. hopefully i managed a few points on that one.</p>
<p>i have the priviledge of having Yates, the author of my textbook, teach us half the course. he lives only 30 minutes away. he came as a "guest speaker," basically whenever my stats teacher didnt feel like teaching...</p>
<p>Haha. You lucky duck you. :)</p>
<p>Haha I think I had that book too :P Lucky.</p>
<p>I took the Stat exam last year, then I hear about how easy the FRQ's were this year</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>THE David Yates??? Ughhhh... I despise that man. He writes bad quizzes. Sometimes.</p>
<p>Wow I can't believe Yates was your stats teacher. That's like... incredible. My teacher was good, but it seems like it would be so much more advantageous to have the author of the standard ap stats textbook as a teacher.</p>
<p>We never learned how to do it. Everyone in my class was all like "What was with #6?" to my teacher... cause we decided not to do Chapter 14 (The Practice of Statistics) because our teachers said they its usually not on the test which is what the question involved. I did the a and b, half of c (guessed) and was attempting d, but I know I got that one wrong and didn't finish.</p>
<p>Ok, so I had five minutes to do the last part (part d?) of 6 and go back to one of the other ones, so I just freehanded it (approx right)</p>
<p>What do you think? I think that question was fun, but got you thinking a little.</p>
<p>Sorry to double post. </p>
<p>My work and writing was horribly messy, but legible, with crossouts everywhere.</p>
<p>Think they'll get annoyed and take off alot?</p>
<p>My teacher said, "Usually Chapter ** is only a small part on the FRQ -- I wouldn't worry. But wouldn't it stink if you guys had a whole #6on it? Ha ha -- I don't thin that'd happen though."</p>
<p>This was her first time teaching the class, and she did a kick-ass job at doing all the other parts, so I don't really blame her. She did much better than the other stats teacher. </p>
<p>At this point, I'm hoping for a strong 4.</p>
