AP Stats Exam Scores – Day 1

How did students do on the AP Stats Exam last year? Specifically, we want to estimate:
p à the true proportion of all AP Stats students in this district that passed the AP Exam
𝜇 à the true mean AP Exam score for all AP Stats students in this district

1. The handout and dotplot show the AP Statistics


Exam scores for all 253 students in a large district.

What does each dot represent?

2. Take a random sample of 10 students. List AP scores here:___________________________________

Take another random sample of 10 students. List scores here:________________________________

Take another random sample of 10 students. List scores here:________________________________

Sample 1: What proportion passed? ________ What is the mean? ________

Sample 2: What proportion passed? ________ What is the mean? ________

Sample 3: What proportion passed? ________ What is the mean? ________

3. Add your sample proportions to the class dotplot. Sketch it here.

4. What does each dot represent?

5. Add your sample means to the class dotplot. Sketch it here.

6. What does each dot represent?


Lesson 7.1 – Sampling Distributions
QuickNotes

Check Your Understanding


1. For each scenario, identify the population, parameter, sample, and statistic. Use correct notation for
the parameter and statistic.

a. The Gallup Organization recently interviewed a random sample of 1,013 adults in the United States
and asked them how much annual income their families need to get by. The average amount for the
sample was $85,000.

Population: Parameter:

Sample: Statistic:

b. The Gallup Organization recently interviewed a random sample of 1,013 adults in the United States
and asked them how much annual income their families need to get by. The standard deviation
amount for the sample was $15,300.

Population: Parameter:

Sample: Statistic:

c. Some curious AP Statistics students believe that most cars in the school parking lot are silver. They
take a random sample of 30 cars and calculate that the proportion of the sample that are silver is 0.36.

Population: Parameter:

Sample: Statistic:

2. Students wanted to estimate the average word length for Beyonce’s song Crazy in Love. Each student
took a random sample of 5 words and calculated the mean of the sample, then used all the sample means
to create a dotplot. Does this dotplot represent a population distribution or part of a sampling distribution?
Explain.
