Homework for Wednesday, 9/25

Assignment:  Student Choice
This was our first day for students selecting their own homework from the options provided.  The four homework choices all dealt with variations of using the central tendencies, but students were encouraged to select something they felt they needed to work on.
*Students CAN select more than one worksheet, but are only "responsible" for ONE.
The assignments have varying degrees of difficulty and time commitment:
1) Perfect 10 - determining which central tendency the number 10 represents in a given set of data. (no copy online)
2) Out of the Box - Practice with the steps involved in creating 5-number summaries and box-plots from data.  (no copy online)
3) Central Tendency: Mean, Median, Mode - Gleaning answers from data tables; more like "story problems."  (no copy online)
4) Does the Data Fit?  Given a set of values for the central tendencies, students have to figure out the data they came from.  This worksheet is very difficult and typically takes at least an hour to complete.  A worthy challenge!
Due Friday - (one of these choices)
