  1. that was funny and really creepy. i noticed the terms boxplots and outliers. boxplots are a type of graph that shows you the median 25th and 75th percentiles and the min and max of the group of data. an outlier is a number in a group of data that is either greater of less than the number you get when you multiply the IQR by 1.5 and subtract the 75% or add the 25%.

  2. Haha I thought the video was really creative. At the beginning I noticed he mentioned the word "outliers" and I recognized it from the Khan video that I just watched.

  3. I new some of the terms used already but there were also plenty of new vocab that I didn't know yet. It was also a creative video! Im not sure how stats is going to encourage me to sing more though...

  4. I thought it was a fun video and it definitely got me a little more excited for the class. It also promised that we'd have M&M's so you better not let us down! Haha, kidding. But I recognized the p-values and z-scores from Pre-calculus. I don't really remember exactly what they were used for but I'm sure we'll be learning about them soon.

  5. This video was definately creative! One of the terms I didn't recogize was quartiles. I looked it up, and quartiles are the values that divide a list of numbers into quarters.

  6. That movie was really interesting! I noticed the first term in the video was outliers, which was also mentioned in the Khan academy video. An outlier is a number in a set a data that is extraneous or very distant from the other numbers in the set.

  7. I thought the video was creative and definitely an interesting way to get people to take AP Statistics. The term I found familiar was from this year in in Pre-Calculus and I think even in Algebra 2. It was LinReg on the calculator. The LinReg function gives you the equation for the data entered in the list on your calculator.

  9. The video was pretty funny! I recognized a few terms, including Chi Square, which I've seen in both honors chemistry and AP Biology.

  12. The video was very well made and the song was catchy. I noticed a couple terms in the video that i had previously known/heard of. Some of the terms include Chi-Square, boxplots and linear regression. I am familiar with theChi-Square analysis because we used it in AP Biology. I haven't used boxplots in awhile so i'm a little fuzzy on how to use them. Also, linear regression is a regression analysis where the dependent variable is linearly related to the independent variable.

  13. its kinda weird and doesnt explain the the topics but mentions a lot of them like p-value and z-score but doesnt say what they're used for

  16. I thought the video was really funny and a good way of getting peoples' attention. I noticed a few terms like box plot and standard deviation, which i've heard of, as well as outliers, which I do not know of.

  17. Overall I thought this video was really creative and got my mind thinking about many old topics I havent thought of for awhile. For example, this movie made me think again about box plots, linear regression, hypothesis, outliers, correlation and positive and negative associtation. It also got my mind going again about all the different things you can do on your calculator and how useful of a tool it is. This video was a really creative and funny way to get people excited for AP Stats and I enjoyed it.

  22. I found this video funny however also very strange. I noticed vocabulary that I recognized from previous math courses such as a box and whisker plot.

  24. I thought this video was funny and creative, and although I'm not sure how much AP Stats will make me want to sing, it is very convincing in regards to the class! i recognized terms such as positive and negative association as well as linear transformation from precalc class, and the term chi-squared from AP biology class.

  25. I thought that the video was clever. (I was excited when I thought it was taylor swift). All in all I noticed words like linear regression, and box and whisker plot. If one thing really showed me dedication it was the fact that the high schoolers would spend their time to remix tswift and sing about statistics

  26. This video was really funny and well thought out. Although it was quite corny, the message was very clear and the video was entertaining! some terms that i noticed from the video were positive and negative association along with linear regression, which are all terms that are familiar from previous courses.

  27. This video was really convincing and cool. Through out the video i noticed some familiar terms including positive and negative association as well as Z-score which relates to the sections of a bell curve. These terms were all familiar because they were mentioned in my previous statistics course.

  29. ... Music and math. I am unsure of how to respond. Shall I do the rapidly clichéd "funny and creative?" I think it was odd, maybe? I really do not know.
