Recent advances in technology have led to golf balls that fly farther, clubs that generate more speed at impact, and
swings that have been perfected through computer video analysis. Moreover, today’s professional golfers are fitter
than ever. The next result is many more players who routinely hit drives traveling 300 yards or more. Does greater
distance off the tee translate to better (lower) scores?

Make sure you understand two possible explanations for the negative association between mean distance and mean
score that we observed in the sample of PGA golfers. We will perform inference to see which explanation is more
plausible.

Topic Overview
 Chi-Square Tests for Goodness of Fit
 Inference for Two-Way Tables
 Inference for Linear Regression
 Transforming to Achieve Linearity

Essential Questions
 Chapter 11: What is Chi-square statistic and why do we compute it using a Two-Way table?
 Chapter 12: How do we perform inference using a regression line? And what are the transformations
we can make to achieve linearity?

Grading Rubric

 Chapter Quizzes: The purpose of chapter quizzes is to keep all students on top of their learning throughout the
term, and also to provide guideline to study for the term test as well as AP exam. Work needs to be shown for
each problem. Incorrect answers but well-written work with simple calculation mistakes will earn partial credit.
We will follow AP exam grading rubric.
 Term Tests: At the end of each term, there will be a cumulative term test. Work needs to be shown for each
problem. Incorrect answers but well-written work with simple calculation mistakes will earn partial credit. We
will follow AP exam grading rubric.
 Homework and Homework Quizzes: Students will be assigned homework every class and they are to have
completed it by the following class unless specific instructions are given. Homework will be mostly graded by
completion-based. Complete work earned full point, incomplete work earns half point, and no or little work earns
zero point. Late homework will be not accepted. Students who are absent on the due date of an assignment, they
must turn their homework in on the next following day to be accepted for credit. Homework must be done
independently in which no show of work will be considered incorrect. In addition, there will be homework
quizzes on one of the previous night homework.
 Group Work and In-Class Participation: A typical class will be combination of whole class instruction led by
the teacher and group work led by students. Students are expected to pay undivided attention to teacher during
whole class instruction, and active involvement with group mates during group work time. Failure to meet these
expectations will result penalty in participation points. Since this is an AP course, students are expected to present
every class. If students are absent, they are expected to make up their work outside of class time to earn back their
participation points.

Important Dates

 Chapter 12 Quiz on Day 12 (Wednesday, April 11th)
