Homework for Wednesday, Oct. 9

Homework:  Does the Data Fit 
You might look at this as a backwards worksheet.  This time you will be given the central tendencies and will need to come up with six data values that fit the set.  Trial and error combined with good elimination strategies will help this homework go more smoothly.  Figure out the "rules" that you know as you go and by the time you get to problem #4, you'll be moving faster.
*THIS LINK might help, and it might not ... but it will give you something to think about.
*On problems 5 - 8 explain.  I get more particular with your explanations as the year goes on and we're already starting that climb.  I want to understand your thinking; "because" is not an explanation, it's an excuse.  ;-)
There is no electronic copy of this worksheet at this time.
Due Thursday

Task:  Sign up for Quizlet
If you are interested, tonight would be a good night to sign up for Quizlet.  In fact, I strongly recommend it to everyone, I just don't require it.
Quizlet is a site where I have made study pages for the majority of the skills you need to master in Transition Math.  It's a private page and it may be used for math homework credit if selected.  I know that Mr. Campbell uses it for Advanced Science and many students create pages for studying things like Spanish vocabulary and world capitals.  Do check it out!
Steps:
1) Join Quizlet.
Follow the directions on the site.
2) Search for "Olympia NOVA School" (there is a search bar)
3) When you try to use the page, it will tell you that you are not a member.  Send a request to join; I will be checking this evening and sending you verification that you're in!
Remember to also send me your user name if it isn't "obvious" who you are.  Thank you!
