Homework for Tuesday, 9/22

Assignment(s):  Perfect 10 or Data Dilemma
Today was your first opportunity to select an assignment that fit what you felt you most needed to practice tonight.  You had two choices and ultimately you are responsible for one of them.  You may certainly change your choice to one, the other, or both of the assignments, but please do not feel as if you need to do both of them.
*The title of Perfect 10 is a link to that assignment; I am still working on Data Dilemma.
Perfect 10:  In this assignment, you have been given "10" as the answer to the question.  Your job is to figure out which of the central tendencies "10" represents in each of the given number sets.  Then using the central tendency that you determine is the answer, fill in the blanks for the "Fun Fact" with the corresponding letter to the problem number at the bottom of the page.  The answer will be two actors that you most likely do not know ... but your parents probably will!
No calculators are allowed for this assignment and you need to show your work (math computations) on either the front or back of the worksheet, OR on another sheet of paper that you attach to this worksheet.
This assignment should take you from 10 - 15 minutes to complete.
Data Dilemma: In this assignment, you are to figure out the numbers that are missing FROM the data set while knowing the mean, median, and mode.  Note: this worksheet is pretty difficult!  Tackle it like you would a puzzle and try some different numbers.  You will need to tackle different problems from different angles ... in some cases the mode might be a handy place to begin and in others the median.  You will always need the mean to check that your answers work!
Note: the first number in each row is the number OF the problem, not a number in the set.
Note: Problems 1 - 5 each set has 5 data values and in problems 6 - 10 each set has 6 data values.
This assignment will most likely take you at least 1/2 hour, but I have had students report that it has taken them an hour (or even more) as well.  Pace yourself accordingly; do not feel you have to "stick with" this worksheet if you find that it overwhelms you!
