[Blindmath] AP Statistics

[Maria Aranguren]

Hi Roopakshi,
Yes, she too has the standard deviation problem you described. Other problems are identifying area under the curve, plugging into y1, pressing the calculator buttons to get to certain screens, and probability. The entire class is calculator dependent which is an issue as you know. I hope I am being specific enough. 
Regards,
Maria

Hi Maria,

Could you describe which kind of questions is she having problems with?
For example, I remember that doing calculations in questions based on standard deviation was a little difficult because a big table had to be created to show step by step calculation and this table had several columns, so I generally couldn't follow along.
But I came up with a rough solution.

Roopakshi from India
