AP Statistics Free Reponse Predictions?

<p>Does anyone know, or make a conjecture, as to what problems will be, or be likely on the Statistics free response?</p>

<p>Like experiemental design, blocking, z and t test, or anything??</p>

<p>Also, how easy do you think the MC will be?
Would it be hard to get over 80% on MC?</p>

<p>BUMP!</p>

<p>Would reading and memorizing old FRQ questions be a benefit?
If so, what years?</p>

<p>they almost ALWAYS have a FR question on some form of a t-test and on experimental design…so u can count on them</p>

<p>I think there is probably a good likelihood of a binomial or geometric distribution.</p>

<p>I can’t remember the content, but it was all pretty easy last year. I took the course first semester, did nothing second semester, reviewed for 2 weeks, and got a 4. MC was very easy.</p>

<p>every single free response test we’ve done in class has had to do with blocking so basically experimental design</p>

<p>Why aren’t any of the Geometric formulas on the formula sheet?</p>

<p>Geometric distribution is NOT under the AP curriculum and will not be tested… Only need to know the Binomial distribution</p>

<p>No, I’m pretty sure you do need to know geometric distributions as well. If you check the curriculm at collegeboard, it includes geometric.</p>

<p>anyone know if you’re allowed to work on question 6 whenever you want or can you only work on it after you’re done with questions 1-5 on the free response section?</p>

<p>you can work on it whenever you want. My teacher told everyone to do #6 first and then go back to #1 and then read 2-5 and go from easiest to hardest.</p>

<p>So is geometric distribution on the MC?
I haven’t seen it on the 2002 or 1997 released MC.</p>

<p>Also, what type of experimental design would they ask?</p>

<p>ye it’s on the test, they recently added it.</p>

<p>What is there to konw about geometric distribution?</p>

<p>Anyone use the book cracking the ap stats test by princeton review? Is it worth me going to B&N tonight and reading it in the store???</p>

<p>I would say no on PR… Only one practice test, kinda pointless…</p>

<p>So Binomial Distributions have to be independent and what else?</p>

<p>4 conditions must be true for Binomial:

  • Trials are Independent
  • Two outcomes only: Outcome is either success or failure
  • There are fixed number of trials
  • Probability of success on each is constant</p>

<p>I think there’s some errors with the PR book
It says the expected value for a geometric random variable is (1-p) / p
I was pretty sure it was the reciprocal of p. (or 1/p)</p>

<p>Theres some other errors in the geometric model sections. Either the PR book is wrong, or my textbook is wrong. And the formulas on my textbook make more sense.</p>

<p>It’s 1/p. Princenton Review sucks.</p>
