Homework for Thursday, March 20

Assignments:  Stack Bars & Central Tendencies
I hope you are checking here as questions arise while you are doing your homework ... it's the purpose of this blog!
Stack Bars:  You will create two identical stack bars representing your bag
*Be sure to use the scale at the top of the page
*Be sure to work up from blue (at the bottom) to yellow (at the top)
*Do NOT leave white spaces in between colors; your colors should be stacked and the top value should be equal to the number of M&Ms that were in your bag.
*Be sure to color accurately
*You should have a scale up the side of the bars, but the increments you choose are up to you (every 10, every 2, etc.)
*You may also use number labels on the stack bars if they help you
Central Tendencies ws:  fill in the data tables
*Questions 1 - 4: If there is more than one color with the same range, choose ONE of the colors to answer the questions.
*Mode - if there is more than one mode, list them all
*Median - if the answer is a decimal, write it as a decimal
*Mean - You MAY use a caclulator for this set.  (I certainly would)  Answers should be in decimal form, but you can round to the first or second decimal place (your choice).
*For #5 - Just look at the 3 central tendency tables and the table you made for your self to determine which one best represents how your bag was.  It is entirely possible that none of them look like your bag or all of them; you still need to select one, but in your discussion of why you chose that table, be sure to address how yours is in fact very different.  Note:  This is about noting the similarities as well as the differences ... there is not one right answer, but there may be wrong ones, so defend your choice!
Due Friday - bring to class for on-time stickers
*Green Congress people must turn in their two worksheets in the room #1 basket prior to leaving in order to get your on-time stickers..
