AP Exam day! Good luck to all the students who have been working so hard to prepare. Know that we are rooting for you! #apstats #MTBoS #statschat #gameday

AP Exam Tip: Do not leave anything blank. You are not marked down for guessing. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

Use specific vocabulary!

[Math Medic (artist formerly known as Stats Medic) @TheStatsMedic]

AP Exam Tip: Be precise in your language and vocabulary. Careful with the words confounding, biased, skewed, independent, accurate. These terms all have a very specific meaning in AP Stats. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

[Math Medic (artist formerly known as Stats Medic) @TheStatsMedic]

AP Exam Tip: Know how to read computer regression output. Do you know which values are the slope and y-intercept? Standard error of the slope? #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

[Marie Bruce @StatswithMLB]

P and Mu & define your variable!

[Math Medic (artist formerly known as Stats Medic) @TheStatsMedic]

AP Exam Tip: When writing hypotheses for a significance test, be sure to use the notation for a population parameter and not the sample statistic. Also, be sure to define any parameters. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

[Math Medic (artist formerly known as Stats Medic) @TheStatsMedic]

AP Exam Tip: When interpreting a confidence interval, always use the word confident (not probability or chance) and be sure to refer to the population parameter and not the sample statistic. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

[Math Medic (artist formerly known as Stats Medic) @TheStatsMedic]

AP Exam Tip: A better sample design or increasing the sample size does not make your estimate more accurate. It makes your estimate more precise (less variable). #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

[Math Medic (artist formerly known as Stats Medic) @TheStatsMedic]

AP Exam Tip: When explaining how a sample design leads to bias, be sure to explain how the sample responses might differ from the population responses AND how this might lead to an estimate that is higher or lower than the truth. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

[Math Medic (artist formerly known as Stats Medic) @TheStatsMedic]

AP Exam Tip: Use -ly words to avoid making too bold of a statement. “The data are approximate-ly normal. The scatterplot is fair-ly linear. The residual plot shows a slight-ly curved pattern. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat

CUSS & Compare

[Math Medic (artist formerly known as Stats Medic) @TheStatsMedic]

AP Exam Tip: When asked to compare two distributions, be sure to compare shape, center, and variability in the context of problem. Don’t simply list. Use words like “greater than, less than, similar to”. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat #SOCV

[Marie Bruce @StatswithMLB]

AP students - don’t forget to CUSS

[Math Medic (artist formerly known as Stats Medic) @TheStatsMedic]

AP Exam Tip: When asked to describe a distribution, be sure to address shape, center, and variability in the context of the problem. #apstats #MTBoS #statschat #SOCV
