Exam Review Study Guide

As you all know, the exams are coming up soon.This is a review of all the things we've learned in Math this semester, so you better start studying.

You must know how to define:
Translation: a slide along a straight line.
Rotation: a turn
around a fixed point.
Reflection: flip over a mirror line.
















Remember
: a mirror line can be anywhere, not only as an axis.

Make this shape: (0,0) (3,0) (3,8) (0,8)


Let's hope, you all remember what a coordinate grid is. If not, here's a review.

Cartesian Plain/Coordinate Grid: A vertical, up and down number line, that meets a horizontal number line.
x-horizo
ntal number line
y- vertical number line.
O
rigin: where the x number line and y number line intersect.
Quadrants: The four regions on a coordinate grid.
Coordinates: the value of an ordered pair.

These are t
he quadrants on a coordinate grid(I hope you all know your roman numerals)


















You must also be able to identify the signs of each quadrant:

Quadrant 1: (+,+)
Quadrant 2: (-,+)
Quadrant 3: (-,-)
Quadrant 4: (+,-)

Now that you know this, try to find which quadrant each letter is in and it's coordinates.
















A- Quadrant 1 (3,1)
B- Quadrant 1 (1,3)
C- Quadrant 2 (-2,1)
D- Quadrant 3 (-1,-1)
E- Quadrant 4 (2,-2)

What is the horizontal and vertical movements of point C to E?

















4 units horizontal (right)
3 units vertical (down)

Note: The Horizontal movement is always identified first.

Where is the mirror line?

A line intersecting the y axis at positive 1.

Effects of Outliers

Find the mean, median, mode, range, and outliers of the following data sets.

a) 12, 20, 18, 15, 10, 12

First you have to reorder the data set from least to greatest. 10, 12, 12, 15, 18, 20

mean= 14.50 (always round to 2 decimal places.)

median= 13.5

mode= 12

range= 10

outlier(s)= none

b) 48, 32, 67, 47, 95, 89, 888, 1

First you have to reorder the data set from least to greatest. 1, 32, 47, 48, 61, 67, 89, 95, 888

mean= 147.56 (always round to 2 decimal places.)

median= 61

mode= 152.78

range= 887

outlier(s)= 1 and 888


Effects of Outliers

Some outliers need to be removed from a data set. This is typically a judgement call.

Outliers have an effect on all measures of central tendency.

Range & Outliers

Range - The positive difference between the largest and smallest values in a set of data.

To find the range:

First, you have to reorder the numbers from least to greatest.
Second, you have to subtract the least number from the greatest number.



Eg.
1. Set of data: 6, 2, 9, 4, 3
a) 2, 3, 4, 6, 9
b) 9 - 2 = 7
Therefore, the range is 7.

1. Set of data: -8, -1, -3, -5
a) -8, -5, -3, -1
b) (-1) - (-8) = 7

Therefore, the range is 7.

Find the range:

1. Set of data: 7, 4, 3, 6, 2, 5, 8, 3
a) 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
b) 8 - 2 = 6
Therefore, the range is 6.

2. Set of data: 11, 8, 8, 5, 7, 6, 7, 6, 6
a) 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 11
b) 11 - 5 = 6
Therefore, the range is 6.

3. Set of data: -4, 3, -1, 0, 2
a) -4, -1, 0, 2, 3
b) 3 - (-4) = 7
Therefore, the range is 7.




Outlier - Value that is much smaller or larger than the other data values. Also note that, a data set may contain one or more outliers, or none at all.

To find the outlier:
First, you have to reorder from least to greatest.
Second, identify the number(s) which are much greater or lower than the other values.

Find the outliers of the following:






















Here is a link on range.

Here is a video of range and outliers. Enjoy!




Range and Outliers

Range
  • The positive difference between the largest and smallest value in a data.

Here are some examples:




1st- Reorder the data by least to greatest

2 ,3 ,4 ,6 ,9

2nd - Find the largest value and smallest value

2 and 9

3rd- Subtract the lowest value to the highest value

9-2=7
Then you'll get your range


Here are some more examples:

-8 , -1 , -3 , -5
reorder
-8 , -5 , -3 , -1
Find the high and low value then subtract
(-1)-(-8)=7

Outliers
  • A value that is much smaller or larger than the other data values
  • A data set may have one or more outliers or no outliers

Find the Range:

a) 7 , 4 , 3 , 6 , 2 , 5 , 8 , 3


2 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8
8-2=6
6 is your range

b) 11 , 8 , 8 , 5 , 7 , 6 ,7 , 6 , 6

5 , 6 , 6 , 6 , 7 , 7 , 8 , 8 , 11
11-5=6

6 is your range

c)-4 , 3 , -1 , 0 , 2

-4 , -1 , 0 , 2 , 3
3-(-4)=7
7 is your range

Find the outliers:

a) 18 ,19 ,79 ,17 ,20 ,12
12 ,17 ,18 ,19 ,20 ,79 = 79

b) 14 ,14 ,16 ,15 ,1 ,16
1 ,14 ,14 ,15 ,16 ,16 = 1

c) 98 ,202 ,99 ,91 ,2 ,95 ,89 ,88 ,94
2 ,88 ,89 ,91 ,94 ,95 ,98 ,99 ,202= 2 and 202

Finding The Mean



MEAN: A measure of central tendency
-The sum(adding) of a set of values divide by the number of values in the set

E.G 9,5,8,4,9
Step 1: re-order from least to greatest
4,5,8,9,9
Step 2: add up all the numbers
4+5+8+9+9= 35
Step 3: divide the sum of the numbers by the amount of numbers
35 divided by 5= 7
that means that the Mean is 7- A.K.A the average

A) 4+5+6+7+7+7+8+8+9+9=70
70 divided by 10=7
Mean:7 Mode:7 Median:7

B) 250+250+300+300+400=1,500
1,500 divided by 5= 300
Mean:300 Mode:250&300 Median: 7

Here is a video that will help you understand how you find the mean:
