AP Stats Curve

<p>Hi!
Around what percent on the multiple choice will give someone a 5 on the exam (assuming you don't screw up the short response), and to get a 4?
Thanks!</p>

<p>If you get 41 to 50 weighted on the multiple choice, weighted being (#/40 right)-(1/4 X number wrong) X 1.25, then your chance of receiving a 5 is 92.8%.</p>

<p>lol sounds good</p>

<p>You'll need around 68 (out of 100) to get a 5 and around 52 to get a 4.</p>

<p>raw score of 35 or above on MC (of 50) is a 5 for that part</p>

<p>yay I feel better now thanks!</p>

<p>Are the graders very picky about the FR. If we leave off part of say, an assumption for a hypothesis test, will they count the entire part wrong?</p>

<p>Nope. If you just leave off one assumption, you can still get all your points right.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks. So if we say a one-sample z-test instead of a one-sample t-test, will we get points off for that?</p>

<p>um. yeah. that would be completely wrong.</p>

<p>One is about mean (t), the other is about proportions (z), right?</p>

<p>no. a z-test is used when the standard deviation of a population is known. a t-test is used when the standard deviation of the population is unknown and calculates the sample standard deviation (s/square-root of n) for usage (with n-1 degrees of freedom).</p>

<p>z-tests, however, can be used for proportions. my book called these p-tests, but they operated on pretty much the same principles (table A, etc.)</p>

<p>hey does anyone know what sections are you allowed to have the formula sheet? and can you use a calculator during the entire test?</p>

<p>Yes, can you use the formula sheet on the multiple choice?</p>

<p>Would make sense that one is able to use the calculator during the entire duration of the test?
My teacher never mentioned when we cannot use the formula sheet and/or the calculator.</p>

<p>I thought you got to use everything for every portion of the test.</p>

<p>that's what I think too, just want to make sure though</p>

<p>you can use your formula sheet & calculator FOR THE ENTIRE TEST.</p>

<p>they also dont check ur memory, but they said that you are allowed to have programs that do that work, just no notes</p>
