• We will hold the Statistics Olympics in the cafeteria during A1/B1 on Tuesday, May 13. It is essential that you come to class fully prepared to run your event. You will not have time to “scramble.”
• Instructions:
• 1. Choose a partner. There will be 5 pairs and 1 triple. Obviously it is preferable that BOTH of you be present on May 13. If you cannot be here make sure to partner with someone who can.
• 2. Plan a “game.” See me for examples of past games but be creative.
• We will invite several classes to play the games. You should plan on at least 30 players.
• 3. State your purpose (population and parameter of interest), null and alternative hypotheses, and test. This is due by May 12.
• 4. On May 13, set up and run the Olympics. After cleaning up we will return to the classroom to begin the data analysis.
• 5. Prepare and present your results. Use the “toolbox” as a guide. Make a poster (no larger than 1/2 sheet of poster board) about your game and results.
• 6. The poster and write up is due by Friday, May 16. Your grade will be based upon quality of analysis, quality of presentation and quality of participation. This is a test grade.

We gave instructions to the teachers
before they brought their classes to • Instructions
• Thank you for bringing your class to the Statistics Olympics today. The data we collect will be used by AP Statistics students for one of their final projects.
• Please have each participant complete the center section of the “ticket.” Each participant should start at the circled activity and proceed, as much as possible, in order. Naturally if one activity is very busy and another has no wait time, it is preferable for to go to the one that is free. The activity leader will mark the ticket.
• When the participant has completed each activity, please collect his/her ticket and give it to me, Mrs. Harris.
• Again, we thank you for your participation and hope you had a good time helping us !
