What is the explanatory variable in this study?
high school graduating GPA

Your high school wants to assess their student attitudes towards the new block schedule. The administration randomly selects 5 first block classes out of a possible 35 total first block classes and gives a survey to every student in the class. What type of sample is this an example of?

How do you identify outliers for univariate data?
Q1 - 1.5(IQR) and Q3 + 1.5(IQR) or 2 SD from the mean.

Data is gathered on a randomly selected Saturday on the shoppers at Target. The probability that a shopper is drinking Starbucks is 25%, while the probability they have kids with them is 65%, and the probability that they have both is 15%. What is the probability that the shopper will not have Starbucks and not have kids with them?
25% or .25

The wait time at your local McDonald's varies according to a normal distribution, with a mean of 7 minutes and standard deviation of 1.35 minutes. Approximately what proportion of their wait times are over 9 minutes?

A least squares regression line was created to predict how many hours a flower would be fresh for based on the amount of sugar in its water. The equation is y = 180.8 + 15.8x.
What is the residual for a flower that had 2 tbsp of sugar and was fresh for 204 hours?
-8.4

Should college athletes be paid? Danica wanted to investigate this by sending out a survey to ask college athletes their opinion. She thinks that the division the athlete competes in might influence the responses so she first groups all NCAA athletes into DI, DII, and DIII. She randomly selected 50 DI athletes, 50 DII athletes, and 50 DIII athletes to complete the survey. What type of sampling method is this?
Stratified random sample

Event A occurs with probability 0.8. The conditional probability that event B occurs, given that A occurs, is 0.5. The probability that BOTH A and B occur is:
0.4

For any given problem on an Algebra 2 test, Ms. Gleit has a 28% chance of making a mistake on the answer key.
What is the probability that she correctly gets through four problems on the answer key before she makes a mistake?
.075

How would you expect a residual plot to look if the model used to make it was a good fit for the data?
random/no pattern

What element of experimental design allows me to conclude cause and effect?
Random assignment to treatments

Suppose A and B are events with the given probabilities: P(A) = 0.62, P(B) = 0.44. and P(A and B) = 0.31. What is P(A or B)?

Which experimental design involves the random assignment of units to treatments which are carried out separately within each group of units known to be similar in some way that is expected to affect the responses?
Block design.

In an AP Biology class, the average score on a recent test is 79, with standard deviation 3.2.
If a student is in the 99th percentile, approximately what score did they receive on the test?

A least squares regression line is created for predicting the mass of a tree (in kg) given its diameter in cm. ln(y) = -2.00 + 2.42ln(x)
Estimate the mass of a tree that is 30cm in diameter.
508.263 kg

What is the term for systematically favoring some responses over others in a survey or an experiment?
Bias

A jar has 10 candies. 5 are blue, 3 are red, and 2 are green. What is the probability of drawing two candies that are the same color without replacing the first?
14/45 or .311

A least squares regression line is created for predicting the amount of caffeine ingested by a student on any given day given their reported hours of sleep the previous night.
If the correlation coefficient is .62, calculate and interpret r2
r2=.38
38% of variation in a student's caffeine intake is explained by the linear relationship with that student's hours of sleep.
